Reports based on all available variables for counties in 1960. Note that 1960 county variables are not the same as Tract variables. Census tracts from 1960 were retabulated in 1970 yielding a different (more detailed) data set than the County, State and US data sets.
Reports based on the Census Tracts dataset from the 1960 Census. Note that for the 1960 Census, more data are available at Tract level than are at the County and State level. Furthermore, only a subset of the data are compatible between the two datasets. We have compiled these reports to be as comprehensive as possible using most of the data available for each dataset in 1960.
Data include following geographies: tracts, counties, states and the US. This is a compatibility dataset generated by Social Explorer. It contains only variables that are compatible between all geographies (states, counties, and tracts). For more tract variables please look at the next dataset which is tracts only but has more variables than this dataset.
Reports based on the 1950 Census tract dataset. These reports only include tracts. The 1950 Census was released separately for tracts and counties. Only some variables overlap between them and those variables are accessible in the dataset above this one. This dataset contains the entire 1950 tracts dataset.
