Description
Definition
GQTYPEH reports the type of group quarters in selected historical samples.
With this variable, users can distinguish between institutions and non-institutional group quarters, identify broad categories of institutions (e.g., mental institutions versus correctional institutions), and, for some years, isolate very specific types of group quarters (e.g., old soldiers home).
