Description

AUTOS reports the number of automobiles owned or used regularly by any household member. It includes company cars kept at home and available for personal use.

In 1960, not all households received this question. In the IPUMS, 80 percent of households in cities with 50,000+ residents and 20 percent of households outside cities with 50,000+ residents were asked the question. For both inside and outside large cities, these cases accurately represent proportional distributions but not correct absolute numbers. See SAMP1960 for instructions on making appropriate corrections to derive correct absolute numbers for the total population.
