Description
NATIVITY indicates whether respondents were native-born or foreign-born; for native-born respondents, it indicates whether their mothers and/or fathers were native-born or foreign-born. NATIVITY is constructed from the IPUMS variables BPL, MBPL, and FBPL. Those U.S. possessions and territories classified as "U.S. outlying areas" in BPL are considered foreign. For a similar variable that identifies those who are foreign or native born in 1970 for Puerto Rico, see NATIVPR.
Codes and Frequencies
Comparability
The universe has shifted over time. For comparability with 1940 and 1950, the universe must be limited to sample-line persons only, using the SLREC variable. NATIVITY is not available for persons in Alaska in the 1950 full count.
Universe
- 1870-1930: All persons.
- 1940, 1950 1%: Sample-line persons.
- 1950 100%: Sample-line persons; not available in Alaska.
- 1960-1970: All persons.
