Sociological Human Ecology: Contemporary Issues and Applications
Organizing To Count: Change in the Federal Statistical System
Because of public and governmental inattention to the federal statistical system, the United States has lost its position as the world statistical leader and is no longer competitive with many other industrialized nations. Increasing decentralization, lack of coordination, and poor quality of data are some of the reasons. This volume presents recommendations that would make the U.S. statistical system competitive once again and ensure that the go…

Looking for the Last Percent: The Controversy Over Census Undercounts
Contemporary Urban Sociology. William G. Flanagan
Census monographs on community growth and change
Why did the editor of Demography choose to package these three 1980 census monographs together? Two of the books, Rural and Small Town America and Regional and Metropolitan Growth and Decline in the United States, represent opposite sides of the same coin; both deal with American communities, small and large, rural and urban. The third, Migration and Residential Mobility in the United States, represents the main demographic process that reshaped …

Government statistics: The conflict between research and privacy
The production of social statistics has been challenged in certain West European nations by the “privacy issue.” Privacy advocates contend thatcomputerized data files containing information about individuals endanger personal privacy and other civil liberties. The privacy issue has taken two forms: anti-census campaigns and data protection systems. Although those responsible for statistical data have traditionally safeguarded their records, they …
Statistics and politics: The “hispanic issue” in the 1980 census
Based upon documents and interviews, this paper presents an analytical history of interactions between the United States Bureau of the Census and Mexican-American leaders preparatory to the 1980 census. Participants confronted several issues, such as defining Hispanic ethnicity, designing instruments and field procedures, and maximizing public participation. Although census officials and ethnic leaders aimed at getting a “full count,” the former …
Overcrowding in the Household: An Analysis of Determinants and Effects
This study based on interviews from a large stratified probability sample of households in Chicago investigates the effect of household crowding. It focuses on the interpersonal dynamics found in the home and how such dynamics are affected by the spatial and social characteristics of a The authors first establish that the number of persons per room is a good objective measure of household crowding. They also establish that the availability of roo…

Subcommunity Change in a Changing Metropolis
Residential areas in cities and suburbs change as they age. The conventional concepts that represent this process are succession and the neighborhood life cycle. In this study we use cohort analysis and multiple regression on small-area data from four censuses to examine population growth patterns among subcommunities in metropolitan Chicago, 1940–70. The major findings: among city and suburban areas, cohort is a strong predictor of growth and lo…
Electronic Community Fact Books
The Local Community Fact Book was developed by urban sociologists of the Chicago School to provide social statistics to local users. The computerized community infor mation system is proposed as the next-generation fact book, to perform the same task. The advantages of the computerized system are that it accommodates a wide range of socioeconomic and environmental variables; it provides historical depth; it presents data graphically; and it facil…

Urban Location and Segregation of the Aged: A Block-Level Analysis
Sociological treatment of the aged as a minority group and ecological theories of urban structure suggest that the urban aged should be segregated from other age/life-cycle groups and be concentrated near city centers. This study examines intraurban location and segregation of the aged in two cities, Cleveland and San Diego. A path model is specified from ecological theory which takes location of the aged as a function of distance from the city c…
Urban Density and Pathology

Correlates of City Crime Rates: Victimization Surveys versus Official Statistics
The effect of eight factors, thought to influence the incidence of crime, on indices based on Uniform Crime Reports and victim surveys, are examined. A comparison of the results reveals that different conclusions would be reached about the correlates of crime depending on the index used. Lacking evidence showing one measure as the more valid indicator of crime, we conclude that neither index is satisfactory for purposes of exploring the causes of…

Cultural complications in fertility interviewing
A description is presented of interviewing and other field work problems in a fertility and KAP survey among village women in East Pakistan. The female population studied had a very low literacy rate and no previous contact with social research. In the survey described, village women were interviewed through the use of many standard questions concerning fertility and family planning. Inappropriate responses to these items were produced by the wom…
