Perceived black support for desegregation in area · Asked in 5 waves, 1964–1976 · 6,146 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). Dropped as not asked: 0 'NA; no Blacks in R’s area'. Kept and flagged: 9 (dk). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 1 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N. In all years, this question followed VCF0821. ‘No blacks in area’ is represented in code 0. 1964 NOTE 1: 219 were not asked this question by error. 1964 NOTE 2: This question was preceded by 7 questions about the racial composition of R’s neighborhood, nearest grade school, nearest junior high school, nearest high school, co-workers, friends and of the people where R shops and trades. If the responses to these 7 questions did not reveal the presence of any white people, then this question was not asked, and VCF0820 has been coded 0.
