Go to the Census Bureau home page, www.census.gov, then click on American FactFinder. In the center of the screen you will see "Start with Basic Facts". The drop down box next to the "Show me" label has the 1990 topics as well as 2000 ones. Select an entry such as "Age and Sex" from the 1990 topics, select your geography, and then press "Go". The 1990 tables are formatted to be comparable to the 2000 demographic profiles -- in fact the only difference in the the title to the table is the "1990" in place of the "2000". You also can go through the "Data Sets" button on the American FactFinder page, the STF 1 (100%) files are shown at the bottom of the table -- the demographic profile tables are called "Quick Tables". Again, select geography, topic, etc. Jim Bash <jbash(a)uic.edu> To: ed christopher <berwyned(a)mcs.com> Sent by: cc: ctpp-news maillist <ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net> owner-ctpp-news@c Subject: Re: [CTPP] 1990 demographic profiles hrispy.net 05/25/2001 12:08 PM I think this is just the "hard to find" 1990 items that the Bureau released in response to press requests (the SDCs only found these though a journalist :-) There are 2 tables, from STF2 and STF4, I think. They provide the comparable 1990 data that is not available in 1990 STF1 (for examples, median age and own children). Jim B On Fri, 25 May 2001, ed christopher wrote:
