County and City Data Book (CCDB)

DESCRIPTION: The data in these files were gathered from various federal agencies and national sources including the 1980 Census of Population and Housing, the 1977 Economic Census, and the 1978 Census of Agriculture. There are three data files and the universes vary from file to file. The counties file provides data on area and population, households, vital statistics, health, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, crimes, housing, journey to work, education, labor force, personal income, money income, government employment and finances, manufactures, wholesale and retail trade, service industries, banking, elections, and agriculture. It provides data for the United States, 50 states and the District of Columbia, and 3,137 counties or county equivalents. The cities file includes, in addition to most of the subjects in the counties file, data on workers in family, climate, and residential electric bills. The cities file provides data for 50 states and the District of Columbia and 957 cities with 25,000 inhabitants or more in 1980. The places file provides data on land, population, money income, and households. It includes data for states and the District of Columbia and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more in 1980, and for 11 states, minor civil divisions (MCDs) with 2,500 inhabitants or more in 1980. Incorporated cities with 25,000 inhabitants or more appear in both the cities file and the places file.
