Racial composition of nearest junior high school · Asked in 3 waves, 1964–1970 · 3,763 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 0 in 1964, 1968. 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)
