Community Data

The community data sets currently exist for Rounds V - XIV only. While regional identifiers exist for Round I, no other community data exist for that round. Community-level data were not collected in Round I of the RLMS.

Since the community data files are much smaller than the household and individual files, it was not necessary for us to divide them into sections. Thus, each round has only one SAS XPORT file associated with it. The data include information about the following topics for each survey site. See the community questionnaires themselves for more details.

Types of Housing Available
Transportation and Communications
Health Care Facilities
Public Dining
Employment Opportunities
