American Community Survey, 2008-2012 [United States]: Public Use Microdata Sample: Artist Extract (ICPSR 35529)
United States. Bureau of the Census
United States. Bureau of the Census
The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year -- giving communities the information they need to plan investments and services. The 5-year public use microdata sample (PUMS) for 2008-2012 is a subset of the 2008-2012 ACS sample. It contains the same sample as the combined PUMS 1-year files for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. This data collection provides a person-level subset of 124,023 respondents whose occupations were coded as arts-related in the 2008-2012 ACS PUMS.
The 2008-2012 PUMS is the fourth 5-year file published by the ACS. This data collection contains five years of data for the population from households and the group quarters (GQ) population. The GQ population and population from households are all weighted to agree with the ACS counts which are an average over the five year period (2008-2012). The ACS sample was selected from all counties across the nation.
The ACS provides social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups covering a broad spectrum of geographic areas in the United States and Puerto Rico. Demographic variables include sex, age, relationship of person to the selected respondent, race, and Hispanic origin. Social characteristics variables include school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, fertility, grandparents caring for children, veteran status, type of disability, health insurance, place of birth, United States citizenship status, year of entry, year of naturalization, language spoken at home, and ancestry. Variables focusing on economic characteristics include employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, income and benefits, and poverty status.

American Community Survey Artist Extracts 5-year Data (ICPSR 39413)
United States. Bureau of the Census
United States. Bureau of the Census
The American Community Survey (ACS), conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, replaced the long form of the decennial census in 2000. The ACS allows researchers, policy makers, and others access to timely information about the U.S. population to make decisions about infrastructure and distribution of federal funds. The monthly survey is sent to a sample of approximately 3.5 million U.S. addresses, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The ACS includes questions on topics not included in the decennial census, such as those about occupations and employment, education, and key areas of infrastructure like internet access and transportation.
When studying large geographic areas, such as states, researchers can use a single year's worth of ACS data to create population-level estimates. However, the study of smaller groups of the population, such as those employed in arts-related fields, requires additional data for more accurate estimation. Specifically, researchers often use 5-year increments of ACS data to draw conclusions about smaller geographies or slices of the population. Note, the Census Bureau produced 3-year estimates between 2005 and 2013 (resulting in seven files: 2005-2007, 2006-2008, 2007-2009, . . . 2011-2013), which remain available but no additional 3-year estimate files have been created.
Individuals wishing to describe people working in occupations related to the arts or culture should plan to use at least five years' worth of data to generate precise estimates. When selecting data from the U.S. Census Bureau or IPUMS USA, users should select data collected over 60 months, such as 2020-2024. NADAC's Guide to Creating Artist Extracts and Special Tabulations of Artists from the American Community Survey provides information about the occupation codes used to identify artists.

About the American Community Survey (ACS): The ACS is an ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year -- giving communities the information they need to plan investments and services. The 5-year public use microdata sample (PUMS) for 2018-2022 is a subset of the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) and Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) samples. It contains the same sample as the combined PUMS 1-year files for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The 2018-2022 ACS 5-year PUMS contains five years of data for housing units (HUs) and the population from households and the group quarters (GQ) population. The GQ population, housing units and population from households are all weighted to agree with the ACS counts, which are an average over the five year period. The ACS sample is selected from all counties across the nation and all municipios in Puerto Rico.
The 5-year dataset is a 5-in-100 national random sample of the population, comprising all households and individuals from the 1% American Community Survey (ACS) samples for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, identifiable by year. It includes persons in group quarters and is weighted. The smallest identifiable geographic unit is the PUMA, which contains at least 100,000 persons and does not cross state boundaries. However, the updating of some geography variables has been delayed du,e to the usage of two different census definitions (2010 and 2020) of PUMA across the five years in the sample. Regarding data quality issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Census Bureau revised its methodology for weighting households in the 2017-2020 5-year sample, resulting in larger coefficients of variation for some key estimates. Users should proceed with caution when using the 2020 1-year ACS PUMS file and should not compare it to other ACS years in the multi-year data samples. Please see ACS and COVID-19: Guidance for Using the PUMS with Experimental Weights for more information.
Additionally, data collection errors occurred in certain years, notably in 2016, 2017, and 2019, affecting specific variables in particular counties. These errors should be considered when analyzing the data. Users should read the FAQ on the multi-year data.

The American Perceptions of Artists Survey 2002, sponsored by the Urban Institute and conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI), was a benchmark study of the general public's opinions about the lifestyles and work of artists in the United States. The purpose of the study was to examine public perceptions of artists from several angles, including general interest in news or current events related to artists; awareness of different arts disciplines; artists' contributions to society and their local communities; personal work as an artist and interaction with artists. The series consists of a national survey of adults in the continental United States and nine local surveys conducted in the following metropolitan areas: Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. Computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) were conducted from May 21 to August 18, 2002. The number of respondents across the data files ranges from 500 to 5,507.

The purpose of this project was to measure and estimate the distribution of personal income and related economic factors in both rural and urban areas of the People's Republic of China. The principal investigators based their definition of income on cash payments and on a broad range of additional components. Data were collected through a series of questionnaire-based interviews conducted in rural and urban areas at the end of 2002.
There are ten separate datasets. The first four datasets were derived from the urban questionnaire. The first contains data about individuals living in urban areas. The second contains data about urban households. The third contains individual-level economic variables copied from the initial urban interview form. The fourth contains household-level economic variables copied from the initial urban interview form. The fifth dataset contains village-level data, which was obtained by interviewing village leaders. The sixth contains data about individuals living in rural areas. The seventh contains data about rural households, as well as most of the data from a social network questionnaire which was presented to rural households. The eighth contains the rest of the data from the social network questionnaire and is specifically about the activities of rural school-age children. The ninth dataset contains data about individuals who have migrated from rural to urban areas, and the tenth dataset contains data about rural-urban migrant households.
Dataset 1 contains 151 variables and 20,632 cases (individual urban household members). Dataset 2 contains 88 variables and 6,835 cases (urban households). Dataset 3 contains 44 variables and 27,818 cases, at least 6,835 of which are empty cases used to separate households in the file. The remaining cases from dataset 3 match those in dataset 1. Dataset 4 contains 212 variables and 6,835 cases, which match those in dataset 2. Dataset 5 contains 259 variables and 961 cases (villages). Dataset 6 contains 84 variables and 37,969 cases (individual rural household members). Dataset 7 contains 449 variables and 9,200 cases (rural households). Dataset 8 contains 38 variables and 8,121 cases (individual school-age children). Dataset 9 contains 76 variables and 5,327 cases (individual rural-urban migrant household members). Dataset 10 contains 129 variables and 2,000 cases (rural-urban migrant households).
The Chinese Household Income Project collected data in 1988, 1995, 2002, and 2007. ICPSR holds data from the first three collections, and information about these can be found on the series description page. Data collected in 2007 are available through the China Institute for Income Distribution.

Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS): A Comparison of Two Reentry Strategies for Drug Abusing Juvenile Offenders, 2003-2009 [United States] (ICPSR 30143)
Jainchill, Nancy
Jainchill, Nancy
Despite progress in reducing crime, crime rates among juveniles, particularly non-white juveniles, remain high. A number of programs have been developed to address the process of reintegration into the community, known as aftercare, through resource efficiency, recidivism reduction, and public safety. This study attempts to evaluate the relative effectiveness of two strategies, extant aftercare services (AS) and Cognitive Restructuring (CR), in order to determine the differential effects on juveniles with varying problem profiles. 236 baseline interviews took place, after which 118 individuals were assigned to CR and 118 to AS. They were then interviewed at three months, two weeks prior to completion of the treatment, and nine months after the completion of the treatment. The two treatments were then compared for relative effectiveness and for relative quality of integration into the juvenile justice system.
This data is public use. There are 62 variables and 65 cases in Recruitment(DS1). Intake (DS2) has 444 variables and 187 respondents. The Three Month Follow-Up (DS3) has 319 variables and 159 respondents. Finally, there are 319 variables and 137 respondents in the Nine Month Follow-Up (DS4).

This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey on the topic of volunteer service, which was administered as a supplement to the September CPS questionnaire.
The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the survey.
All persons eligible for the labor force items of the basic CPS were also eligible for the volunteer supplement. Altogether, 159,434 interviews were conducted during the period of September 15-21, 2002. Proxy responses were allowed if attempts for a self-response were unsuccessful. The supplement contained questions about the household member's participation in volunteer service from September 1, 2001, to the date of the interview. Household members were queried about the frequency of volunteer activity, the kinds of organizations they volunteered with, the types of activities they chose, whether any volunteering was done in a foreign country, and involvement in their community.
Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
The Social Reactions Questionnaire (SRQ) is a widely used instrument designed to measure perceptions of social reactions. Studies using the SRQ have generally asked women to report on social reactions from "other persons told about the assault," without specifying which persons. The purpose of this study was to test a modified version of the SRQ that asked women to report separately on social reactions from criminal justice personnel, community-based providers, and informal supports. The researchers sought to examine changes in social reactions longitudinally as well as the impact of social reactions on criminal justice engagement and post-traumatic distress among diverse women following a recent sexual assault. The study included testing hypotheses about the inter-relationships among social reactions, victim well-being (e.g., psychological distress), and criminal justice variables (e.g., victim engagement with prosecution). Addressing the dearth of longitudinal research on social reactions, this study examined causal links among variables. In particular, researchers tested hypotheses about changes in social reactions over time in relation to criminal justice cases and victims' post-traumatic reactions.
The data included as part of this collection includes one SPSS data file (2_1-Data_Quantiative-Variables-Updated-20180611.sav) with 3,310 variables for 228 cases. Demographic variables included: respondent's age, race, ethnicity, country of origin, sexual orientation, marital status, education level, employment status, income source, economic level, religion, household characteristics, and group identity. The data also contain transcripts of qualitative interviews and one SPSS qualitative coding dataset (file7-2_4_Data_Open_ended_Codes_from_Transcripts.sav) with 19 variables and 225 cases, which are not included in this fast track release.

The Health and Life Study of Koreans (HLSK) was conducted as a part of the study, "Empirical Assessment of Respondent Driven Sampling from Total Survey Error Perspectives" supported by the National Science Foundation. The larger study aimed to examine the operational and inferential properties of respondent driven sampling (RDS). HLSK applied RDS using a web survey, to examine the health of foreign-born Korean-American adults living in Los Angeles County or the State of Michigan. It should be noted that the literature on analysis of RDS data is not fully established, and there is less than clear empirical evidence illustrating the fit of using RDS for population-level inferences. Hence, data users are advised to exercise extreme caution in making population-level inferences.
This study uses existing questions from established surveys such as the American Community Survey (ACS), Kessler survey of psychological distress, and the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). The Main Survey covers topics like socio-demographics, physical and mental health, healthcare utilization, religiosity, political engagement, psychosocial traits, and racial/ethnic identity. The Follow-up Survey and Restricted Data focuses on RDS sampling questions and allows users to examine the relationships between recruiters and their recruits. Additionally, the Follow-up Survey and Restricted Data includes variables that contain sensitive information such as multi-racial identity, citizenship status, and physical health characteristics.

University of California, Los Angeles. Institute for Social Science Research
The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys [LAMAS] 3, 1971 collection reflects data gathered in 1973 as part of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys (LAMAS). The LAMAS, beginning in the spring of 1970, are a shared-time omnibus survey of Los Angeles County community members, usually repeated twice annually. The LAMAS were conducted ten times between 1970 and 1976 in an effort to develop a set of standard community profile measures appropriate for use in the planning and evaluation of public policy.
The LAMAS instruments, indexes, and scales were used to track the development and course of social indicators (including social, psychological, health, and economic variables) and the impact of public policy on the community. Questions in this survey cover respondents' attitudes toward the following topics: the concept of a model neighborhood, air pollution, medical problems and health care services in the community, local government politics, police relations, crime, the Mexican-American protests, and public transportation. A sub-sample of households in the San Fernando Area were asked questions about the 1970 earthquake, rating the effectiveness of local government response and the respondents' feelings about possible future disasters.
Demographic variables included in this dataset include age, marital status, religion, sex, education, income, geographic origin, and race.

Northwest Area Foundation; University of Oregon. Oregon Survey Research Laboratory
The purpose of the study was to gather information
pertinent to community, neighborhood, local government, and
community-based activities in order to find ways to reduce poverty
throughout the Northwestern states of Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana,
Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington. The survey first
asked the respondents to name their place of residence (in terms of
state, county, and town), how long they had lived at their residence,
and how much longer they planned to reside there. Then a sequence of
questions asked respondents for their thoughts about the community,
such as how they felt about it, whether they felt they belonged,
whether they were fairly treated or excluded from the community, and
how safe they felt walking around their community at night. They were
also asked about the attitudes of individuals and the relationships
between community members. The survey further asked about community
involvement, group membership, and social participation, access to
outside sources for problem-solving, and how well the members
cooperated with one another (in groups and in neighborhoods) when they
disagreed. The questionnaire also asked respondents to assess how well
people of different ethnic groups interacted with the community as a
whole and within groups, organizations, and activities. It asked for
respondents' assessment of government services for the community,
their trust in government as well as members and leaders of local
groups (business, ethnic, and religious), and the cooperation of the
community in emergencies. Respondents were asked to evaluate their
ability to make a positive impact in their community and the ability
of people and groups to provide assistance to the poverty-stricken and
to reduce the number of those in poverty. Moreover, the survey asked
respondents about the presence of leadership programs in their
community and the effects, if any, they had on its members. Switching
the focus, respondents were asked to evaluate their personal or
financial status, their ability to acquire a loan, credit, or other
financial services, and if they ever had difficulty paying for living
costs (food, housing, electricity, heating, telephone, or health
care). They were also asked to estimate how many people in the
community could not afford the basic living costs. Questions were
asked of respondents about their interest in staying informed about
public affairs, how often they accessed information in newspapers, how
often they voted in elections, the frequency in which young people
left town in search of better opportunities, and about the possibility
of implementing and developing small/local businesses within the
community. Finally, the survey collected general demographic
information including marital status, age, gender, race, education,
religion and religious affiliation, employment status, location of
residence (state, county, and town), whether they own or rent their
home, household composition, current assets and income, and their
access to telephones and the Internet.

University of Oregon. Oregon Survey Research Laboratory; Northwest Area Foundation
This study was designed to obtain information regarding
community, neighborhood, local government, and community-based
activities in an effort to discover ways of reducing poverty in the
Northwestern states of Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota,
Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington. Respondents were asked a series
of questions relating to their attitudes toward their place of
residence. They were asked how long they had lived at their current
place of residence, what was the best thing about living there, and
what changes they would make. Respondents were asked more specific
questions about their immediate community and neighborhood such as
whether they felt safe walking around during the day and at night,
whether there were job opportunities, and how they perceived race
relations and living conditions in their community. They were asked
whether or not people in their community shared similar values as well
as what sorts of attitudes people in their community had. For example,
respondents were asked whether there was a sense of belonging, hope,
worry, pride, anger, or boredom among members of their community. They
were also asked about the importance of feeling like a member of a
community and about their personal relationships with fellow
neighbors. Other questions concerned their involvement in public
affairs, from what sources they received their news, whether or not
they trusted those news sources, and with what frequency they read the
newspaper. Respondents were asked if they felt the government had the
greatest responsibility in caring for citizens and whether the
government cared more about individuals or larger interests.
Respondents were also asked about their social activism such as
volunteer work, donating blood, and attending government meetings.
Other questions asked about their voting history, as well as their
involvement with local church, sports, civic, and fraternal
organizations. Respondents were asked about their geographic location
including state, county, and town, whether their place of residence
was considered urban or rural, and whether or not they lived near an
Indian reservation. The survey also collected general information on
the respondents such as gender, education, marital status, employment
status, and income.

The survey was designed to obtain information pertaining to community, neighborhood, local government, and community-based activities in an effort to discover ways to reduce poverty among the Ventures Communities (selected by the Northwest Area Foundation) in the Northwestern states of Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington. Respondents were asked to identify their place of residence (state, county, and town) and length of time they had lived at that location, as well as a series of questions pertaining to their opinion about the community, the attitudes of persons within the community, and relationships between community members. The survey queried respondents about their community involvement and group memberships, and their connection with resources outside the community, and their neighbors, to solve inner-community issues. Respondents also appraised the quality of government services in the community, trust in local leaders and members of ethnic groups, the level of cooperation of community members in an emergency, and the effectiveness of individuals or organizations in reducing the number of people in poverty. For the next topic, respondents were asked to evaluate their personal or household financial status, such as their ability to obtain a loan, line of credit, or other financial services, and their ability to pay for basic living costs. Respondents were also asked whether they had received financial assistance from family, and to estimate the number of people or families in the community who could not afford basic living costs. The survey also asked respondents to identify their interest in public affairs, how frequently they accessed newspapers for information, and how often they voted in elections. Respondents evaluated how often young people move away to find better opportunities, their perception of safety while walking in the community at night, and the potential for the start up and growth of small businesses. In addition, respondents were asked about their health and quality of life. General demographic information includes: age, gender, race, religion and religious involvement, education, marital status, and employment status. Geographic information, in addition to location of residence, was obtained such as whether their residence was urban or rural, and whether or not they lived on or near an Indian reservation. Finally, household information was collected including household composition, income and current assets, the presence of a telephone or cell phone, and access to the Internet.

Walker, Chris; Scott-Melnyk, Stephanie
Conducted by the Urban Institute, the Survey of Arts and Cultural Organizations [2000] was part of a series of surveys evaluating the Community Partnerships for Cultural Participation (CPCP) initiative. In the CPCP initiative, a total of ten community foundations around the country received grants from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund to induce more people to attend arts and cultural events, encourage people who attend to contribute their time and money as well, and attract people who do not usually attend. The Urban Institute was commissioned to evaluate the initiative through surveys of households and organizations in five of these communities.
The Survey of Arts and Cultural Organizations [2000] recorded operating characteristics, performance/exhibition venues, audience expansion and diversification strategies, and organizational partnerships of government or not-for-profit art and culture organizations in five geographic areas: the Kansas City metropolitan area; Humboldt County, California; Silicon Valley, California; Southeastern Michigan; and Boston, Massachusetts. From February 11, 2000 through May 1, 2000, a total of 553 interviews were completed with not-for-profit or government organizations across all five geographic areas.

United States Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy (CID) Survey, 2006 (ICPSR 4607)
Howard, Marc M.; Gibson, James L.; Stolle, Dietlind
Howard, Marc M.; Gibson, James L.; Stolle, Dietlind
This data collection represents a loose collaboration
between Georgetown University's Center for Democracy and Civil Society
(CDACS) and the European Social Survey (ESS). The data in Part 1 are
from the United States Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy (CID)
Survey, which was conducted between mid-May and mid-July of 2005, and
consists of in-person interviews with a representative sample of 1,001
Americans who responded to an 80-minute questionnaire. The CID survey
is a study of American civic engagement, social capital, and democracy
in comparative perspective, and it provides perspective on citizen
participation in both the public and private realms. The CID survey is
integrated with several elements of a module from the 2002 version of
the ESS, which was administered in 22 European countries. In addition
to the replicated questions from the ESS, the CID survey includes
questions related to the themes of social capital, activities in
formal clubs and organizations, informal social networks and
activities, personal networks (strong and weak ties), the composition
and diversity of ties and associations, trust (in other people, the
community, institutions, and politicians), local democracy and
participation, democratic values, political citizenship, social
citizenship, views on immigration and diversity, political
identification, ideology, mobilization and action, and tolerance
(concerning views and attitudes, least-liked groups, and racial
stereotypes).
In order to facilitate and encourage the common use of several key
variables, and to help individual users to avoid having to create
certain scales and indices, the data in Part 1, Citizenship,
Involvement, Democracy Survey Data (US Only), also include the
following constructed variables: generalized trust, political action,
party identification, participation in voluntary organizations,
citizenship norms, the diversity of social networks, racial
prejudice/negative stereotypes, national pride, attitudes toward
immigrants, and demographic factors.
The data in Part 2, 2002 European Social Survey (ESS) Data
Integrated with US Data, comprise the responses from the 2002 ESS
merged with the responses from the US CID, but only contains the
questions common to both the US CID and the 2002 ESS (without any
constructed variables). The central aim of the ESS is to measure and

In November 2019, the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) launched the Y Strong Communities Study to explore how experiences with the YMCA (or "the Y") have affected the lives of Y participants and their communities. NORC fielded a survey with over 3,000 individuals who were Y members or who had participated in activities at the Y. Topics covered by the survey included Y engagement (duration and frequency of Y participation), reflections on the Y (e.g., whether the Y helps them develop connect to resources), community involvement, and health and well-being. Additional information collected by the survey includes work status, volunteer activity, attendance of faith-based services, gender identity, age, ethnicity, race, and educational attainment.
NORC also fielded two rounds of questions on the
AmeriSpeak Omnibus survey
in November 2019 and March 2020 to collect a general population comparison for the Y participant survey.
