Description

TV reports the number of televisions in the housing unit (none, one, or two or more). Any type of TV counted, as long as it worked.

In 1960, not all households received this question, and only 20 percent of cases in the IPUMS include the question. Such cases accurately represent proportional distributions but not correct absolute numbers for the total population. See SAMP1960 for instructions on making appropriate corrections to derive absolute numbers for the total population.
