VAR CF9001 LENGTH OF RESIDENCE IN COMMUNITY COLUMNS 718 - 719 NUMERIC MD GE 99 How long have you lived here in (1986 and later: your present) (1984: this) city/town/township/county ------------------------------------------------------------------- USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B. In presidential years, this was a pre var. In 1968-1978, if number of years given included a fraction of 6 or more months, then the number of years coded was rounded up to the next highest whole number. In 1980-1986, this practice was restricted to instances where the total number of years (and months) given was less than 2 years; if the number of years given was greater than 2, then any fraction was dropped. In 1988-1990, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded as 1 year, code 0), and 13-23 months (code 1). In 1994 and later, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded 0); the code "13-23 months; 2 years" has been recoded to 2. In 1974, no code appeared for "all of life," so no cases appear in code 90 for 1974. 0. 1 YEAR OR LESS 1. 13-23 MOS.
