1970 Census: Instructions to Respondents
[The following description of 1970 enumeration procedure is from Bureau of the Census publication 1970 Census of Population and Housing, Data Collection Forms and Procedures, page 3]
"In the major urban areas and some adjacent counties [which included about 60 percent of the housing units], a mail-out/mail-back method was used for the first time in a population and housing census. Preaddressed census questionnaires were delivered to most housing units on March 28, 1970, and householders were asked to fill in their questionnaires and mail them to the local census office on Census Day (April 1, 1970). Census personnel then telephoned or visited those who did not respond, or who returned a questionnaire with incomplete or obviously inconsistent answers, and attempted to obtain complete information or resolve inconsistencies. Vacant housing units were also visited by enumerators, who attempted to obtain answers to housing questions either by interviewing neighbors, landlords, or other knowledgeable persons, or by personal inspection. In the remainder of the country, questionnaires were delivered to each housing unit, but respondents were told to complete their questionnaires and retain them to be collected by enumerators during a house-to-house canvass. ...
"(T)he 1970 census questionnaires were designed to allow respondents to record their own answers by filling small FOSDIC1 circles for most items.
"(R)elatively few questions were asked of all persons and housing units. ... Longer questionnaires were employed to obtain answers to questions asked of only a sample of the population and the housing units. ... Some questions were asked of a 15-percent sample, and other inquiries were directed to a 5-percent sample. Certain questions were included in both the 15-percent and 5-percent samples, thereby constituting a 20-percent sample."
The 1970 PUMS is composed entirely of households contained in the 5- and 15-percent samples; half of the records are from the 5-percent sample, and the other half are from the 15-percent sample. In our list of questionnaire items (below), we indicate in brackets the sample universe for each item as follows:
[Only on Form 1]: Item asked only of 5-percent sample households/persons (comprising one half of the PUMS).
[Only on Form 2]: Item asked only of 15-percent sample households/persons (comprising the other half of the PUMS).
In addition to the FOSDIC questionnaires, which consisted of brief questions followed by a series of possible answers and FOSDIC circles, households received a separate sheet containing more detailed instructions for each question. In order to minimize cross-referencing, we have combined these below. For each item, we reproduce the question as asked on the FOSDIC questionnaire, followed by any additional instructions contained on the separate instruction sheet. The additional instructions appear in quotation marks.
