Description

HOMEMCD provides city or minor civil division of origin information for Alaskan residents.

In 1900, residents of Alaska were asked their "Post-office address at home." This information was coded to the state, county, city, and minor civil division level. HOMEMCD provides information on U.S. minor civil divisions.

Additional geographic detail is available in HOMESTAT, HOMECITY, and HOMECNTY.

Coding of HOMEMCD was based on a listing of codes used for the 1990 U.S. census. Many minor civil divisions that we encounter in the historical census data no longer exist because of political and administrative reorganization at the sub-county level. In these cases we assigned non-standard FIPS codes consistent with the present-day FIPS coding format.

Note that HOMEMCD is state-dependent. The codes must be read in combination with HOMESTAT.

This variable is only available for 1900. HOMEMCD is a 4-digit numeric code which provides the city or minor civil division of origin information for Alaskan residents. In 1900, residents of Alaska were asked their "Post-office address at home." This information was coded to the state, county, city, and minor civil division level. HOMEMCD provides information on U.S. minor civil divisions. HOMEMCD specific variable codes for missing, edited, or unidentified observations, observations not applicable (N/A), observations not in universe (NIU), top and bottom value coding, etc. are provided below by Census year (and data sample if specified).

User Note: HOMEMCD codes are state-dependent and therefore must be read in combination with HOMESTAT.

HOMEMCD Specific Variable Codes
0000 = Not applicable
9998 = Not classifiable
9999 = Blank

HOMEMCD uses the FIPS Codes for Minor Civil Divisions and Incorporated Municipalities, which is the same coding scheme used for the variable MCD.
