Q:
I am trying to use data from the 1980 Census (STF 2A) to pull off population counts using Table B8 for Blacks in the South Side of Chicago. If I just pull off numbers for men, I actually get the sum of the male & female counts.
A:
You are looking in the wrong columns. Here’s your solution. The table layout is:
Total
Age 0
Age 1
Age 2
Age 3, etc.
Female
Age 0
Age 1
Age 2,etc.
Thus, males are Total – Female. You will have to compute that number.
Make sure you are looking at the correct columns and you should be fine.
