        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.
