Abstract:

"The primary purpose of this publication is to acquaint data users with the tools available for the automated comparison of 1970 and 1980 [U.S.] census summary data. Additionally, this publication illustrates a general data processing procedure for making these comparisons. "The demonstration of this data processing procedure produces tables and maps showing age distributions by census tract." Data for the demonstration are from the 1970 census and from the 1978 dress rehearsal census of the Richmond, Virginia, area. (EXCERPT)
