For Rs who answered "No" when asked if they voted within the county of their
residence, an attempt was made to determine the CD where R voted. An attempt
was also made to pursue any other indications that R voted in a CD other
than the one identified in question Sample1. If the state of R's vote is
determined but not the CD, then the state has been coded in the first two
characters and the CD is represented as "99." If it has been determined that
R voted out of the CD of residence but the location of vote (state and CD)
was not identified, then 9999 has been coded.

See the appendix on CENSUS DEFINITIONS (Appendix F).
For the Panel component, this variable refers to R's location when originally
selected in 1992 or 1994; the respondent may have moved since then. For the
Cross-section component, this reflects R's location where selected in 1996.
Coded according to the 1990 Census and 1990 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) definitions, 1990 Census Population reports (as reported in the 1992
Annual Metro, City and County Data book) and 1990 Census "urbanized area" (as
shown in the 1994 Rand McNally Road Atlas - 70th edition.
For segments from the 1980 National Sample Frame, code 1 includes all 1980
National Sample Frame self-representing areas, plus Newark, NJ (as well as
SRP Nassau-Suffolk NY as part of the NYC CMSA) and Anaheim and Riverside CA
(as part of the LA CMSA) plus six other non-selfrepresenting primary areas
included within the population over 2,000,000' definition (Miami-Fort
Lauderdale, FL CMSA, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH CMSA, Seattle-Tacoma, WA
CMSA, San Diego, CA MSA, Phoenix AZ MSA and Tampa-St Petersburg-Clearwater,
FL MSA)
For Segments from the 1990 National Sample Frame, code 1 includes all except
two of the 28 1990 National Sample Frame self-representing areas. Central
Cities of Denver, Co MSA and Kansas City MSA are NOT to be coded 1. Central
Cities of all other self-representing areas of the 1990 National Sample Frame
are coded 1 (including Nassau-Suffolk NY and Newark NJ as part of the NYC,
NY-Northern NJ CMSA; Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Riverside CA as part of the
LA-etc. CMSA; and San Francisco and Oakland CA as part of the SF-Oakland CA
CMSA). For the most part, no 1990 Frame non-selfrepresenting MSA Central
Cities are coded 1, except as noted below. [NOTE: In 1990, the PSU
definition in New England states is the New England County Metropolitan Area
(NECMA). This means that for the 1990 Frame segments in New England--there
may be Central Cities of MSAs included in the NECMA definition that are not
in the CMSA/MSA definition. For example, in Boston MA (1990 frame) the
Central Cities include not only those for Boston MSA but some from other New
England MSAs -- some of which could be outside of the Boston CMSA definition
and could be coded 2'. It also means that in the Manchester-Nashua NH
NECMA (non-selfrepresenting) there are two segment selections in Nashua, NH
(central city of Nashua MA PMSA) which is part of the Boston MA CMSA and has
therefore been coded 1'.]
Central Cities - as designated in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1990, U.S.
Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. (June 1990).
Six largest CMSAs - Statistical Abstract of the United States 1991, (111th
Edition), U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics
Administration, Bureau of the Census, Table No. 38."70 Largest Metropolitan
Areas--Racial and Hispanic Origin Populations: 1990" Pp 33.
Suburbs - defined as all "urbanized areas" in the Primary Area exclusive of
the areas coded 1' and 2' above, plus the remainder of any county which
includes a central city or parts of a central city. (NOTE: For segments from
the 1980 Frame only, in the New England division where MSA boundaries do not
follow county lines, it is necessary to limit this category to the SMSA part
of a county which includes a central city.) See also the note under code
1' for the 1990 Frame.
