U_DEM_AGE

Age

U_DEM_AGE is derived by calculating the difference between birth date and the survey year.

U_DEM_AGE = Z_SURVEY_YEAR - U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR


U_DEM_AGE_GROUP_5_YR_GROUPING

Age Group (in 5-year intervals)

This data element is the respondent's age, represented in 5-year ranges. AGE_GROUP_5_YR_GROUPING equals the first year in the range. For example, an individual aged 46 would be assigned U_DEM_AGE_GROUP = 45, representing the range 45-49.

U_DEM_AGE_GROUP_5_YR_GROUPING = 5 * the integer portion of (U_DEM_AGE / 5)


U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR_PUB

Year, Date of Birth Public Use

This 4-digit code is the public use version of U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR. A 5-year range is calculated for U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR with U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR_PUB containing the first year in the range. For example, birth year = 1952 would be coded as U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR_PUB = 1950, representing the range 1950-1954.

U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR_PUB = 5 * the integer portion of (U_DEM_BIRTH_DATE_YR / 5)


U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_REGION

Region Code, Place of Birth

This 2-digit code is based on U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_ST_CNTRY_CD.

U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_REGION_US_NONUS

Place of Birth (Recode)

This data element is based on state/country information in U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE:

U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_REGION_US_NONUS = Y (in the U.S.) if
U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE = 000-096

U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_REGION_US_NONUS = N (not in the U.S.) if
U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE = 100-555

U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_ST_CNTRY_PUB

State/Country Code, Place of Birth (Recoded for public use)

This 3-digit code is the public use version of U_DEM_BIRTH_PLACE_ST_CTRY_CD

U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_PUB_CAT

Race/Ethnicity (Recoded for public use)

This 1-digit code is the public use version of U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT.

U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_PUB_CAT =
2 (White) IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT = 2 (White)
4 (Asian/Pacific Islander) IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT = 4 (Asian/Pacific Islander)
6 (Other) IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT = 6 (Other)
7 (Under Represented Minorities) IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT = 1 (Hispanic),
IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT = 3 (Black)or
IF U_DEM_RACE_ETHNICITY_CAT =5 (Native American)


U_DEM_RACE_MINORITY_IND

Minority Indicator

This Yes/No (1-character) code is based on U_DEM_RACE_CAT and U_DEM_RACE_HISPANIC_CAT:

U_DEM_RACE_MINORITY_IND = Y (Yes) when
U_DEM_RACE_HISPANIC_CAT = Y (Yes) or
U_DEM_RACE_CAT = 2 (Black/African American), 4 (American Indian, Alaskan Native) or 5 (Other)

U_DEM_RACE_MINORITY_IND = N (No) when
U_DEM_RACE_HISPANIC_CAT = N (No) and
RACE_CAT = 1 (White) or 3 (Asian or Pacific Islander)

U_RESPONDENT_LOCATION

Respondent location, derived from location of residence or employer's location, depending on data availability

Derivation of this code varies among the component SESTAT surveys.

For the NSCG, respondent location is derived from administrative data maintained by the Bureau of the Census, the agency that administered the survey. The data used to derive this item shows the respondent's location of residence.

For the NSRCG and the SDR, respondent location is obtained using the location of the respondent's employer (E_EMPLOYER_REGION). For respondents unemployed or not in the labor force, respondent's location is obtained from the respondent's location of residence.
