Racial composition of nearest grade school · Asked in 5 waves, 1964–1976 · 8,885 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). NA code treated as not asked where it exceeds 10% of a year's answers (an unlabeled split or filter): 0 in 1970. Kept and flagged: 0 (no_answer), 8 (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. 1970 NOTE: If range of 2 adjacent numbers was given by respondent the value coded was the one towards the center of the scale (for example, 1 or 2 = 2; 2 or 3 = 3)
