Description

ENUMDIST reports the household's census enumeration district.

Prior to 1880, enumeration district and supervisor district information are not available on the census forms. Either the forms were not numbered, or the numbers were not entered on the enumerator sheets.

In 1880 through 1920, enumeration districts are unique by supervisor district within states. Users must read them with one of the STATE variables (STATEICP, or STATEFIP) to distinguish among enumeration districts located in different states and SUPDIST or COUNTYICP to distinguish among enumeration districts within the same state.

In 1930 and 1940, enumeration districts are unique by county within states. In 1930, enumeration districts were combined with the county code, so users must read them with one of the STATE variables to uniquely identify enumeration districts within and between states.

User Note: In the Full Count Data Files, users must read ENUMDIST with one of the STATE variables (STATEICP) or STATEFIP) and the COUNTY variable (COUNTYICP) to uniquely identify enumeration districts within and between states.
