Description
Definition
This variable indicates the U.S. state, the outlying U.S. area or territory, or the foreign country where the person was born. Enumerators were instructed to record the nation-state of the person's birth, but there were exceptions to this general rule.
The detailed code variable (5 digits) covers some places not necessarily available in other U.S. samples or places that are subsets of other specified countries. Its first digit more or less corresponds to continents. The makers of the sample preserved as much detail as they thought would be useful to potential users, so some countries are combined into single categories if the number of cases was thought to be too small to be useful.
