Description

For non-Hispanic respondents who reported Asian and/or Pacific Islander and another federally defined race in the 2000 census, 2010 census, or the ACS, PREDAPI represents the results of an equation predicting whether they would have reported only their Asian and/or Pacific Islander race group if asked for a single-race response. Non-Hispanic people reporting only “some other race” may be allocated a non-zero value of PREDAPI.

PREDAPI ranges between 0 and 1. Non-Hispanic single-race Asians, Non-Hispanic single-race Pacific Islanders, and non-Hispanic people reporting Asian and Pacific Islander have a value of 1 for PREDAPI. People who reported Asian and/or Pacific Islander and “some other race” also have a value of 1 in accordance with the procedure described in Ingram, et al. (2003). Other single-race respondents and Hispanic Asian and/or Pacific Islander people have a value of 0 for PREDAPI.

For every person, the sum of PREDAPI, PREDAI, PREDBLK, PREDHISP, and PREDWHT is 1.0. The highest of these values determines the value of RACHSING. For an explanation of how these variables are calculated, see RACHSING.

See also PREDAI, PREDBLK, PREDHISP, PREDWHT, and RACHSING.

PREDAPI is an 8-digit numeric variable. PREDAPI has seven implied decimals. For example, a PREDAPI value of 10000000 should be interpreted as 1. The IPUMS command files automatically make the necessary adjustment, so no further adjustment is needed.

PREDAPI Specific Variable Codes
0 = Non-Asian and/or Pacific Islander respondents or Hispanic Asian and/or Pacific Islander respondents
1 = Non-Hispanic single-race Asian and/or Pacific Islander respondents or non-Hispanic respondents reporting Asian and/or Pacific Islander and “some other race.”
