ECLS-K Census Data and Geocodes
Description
There are eight ASCII data files that contain census variables for tracts and zip code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) and the identifiers for the ECLS-K schools and children that can be used to link the ECLS-K data to the census data.
tracts.dat: This file includes 635 selected data fields for all tracts in the United States.
zctas.dat: This file includes 635 selected data fields for all ZCTAs in the United States.
school.dat: This file has tract and ZCTA identifiers for ECLS-K schools.
child1.dat, child2.dat, child3.dat, child4.dat, and child5.dat: These five ASCII files have tract and ZCTA identifiers for ECLS-K children’s homes. There is one file for each round because children’s home addresses can differ from round to round. The numbers in these file’s names correspond to the round numbers.
