IN THIS REPORT a comparison of the classification of residence

stated on the death certificate with residence as stated on the matching

census record for selected geographic re~”ons by demographic vavia blesis ~esented.

The classification of residence information on the death certificates

corresponds closely to the vesidence on the censws records for the de-cedents whose records were matched. An inverse relationship existsbetween the size of the geo~aphic area and the degree of difference be-tween censws assignments and those by the National Center for HealthStatistics (NCHS) with differences approaching zeYo as the size of the

area increases. NCHS somewhat overstates the num bars of deaths forindividual urban places and understates those for rural areas. Towns,

townships, boroughs in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania,territorial annexations between 1950 and 1960, and urban j%inge aveaspresented problems to NCHS in properly allocating thevesidence of the

decedents. The poovest age agreement between the census records and

the death certificates was for the nonwhite group at ages 85-99 years inthe geographic divisions comprising the South Re@”on. The average pro-portion of vecords unmatched UMS 50 percent highs? for the nonwhite

gvoup than for the white. Both the differences by race between censusand NCHS vecords and the match statws were most favora Me for thewhite population and the ’Japanese when compared with other vacial andethnic groups. Differences by sex were negligible.

INTRODUCTION

The chief purpose of the 1960

McCarthy, Division of Vital Statistics

contained the following item for eliciting resi-dence information:

ComparisonStudy is to measure differences for s-electedcharacteristics as reported on the death certifi-cates and on the questionnaires for those dece-dents enumerated in the Eighteenth DecennialCensus of the United States. A secondary objec-tive is to assess the accuracy of the annual deathrate on the basis of the results of this study.

This comparison study involves a sample ofdeaths occurring during the 4-month periodMay-August, 1960. The design of the sample, numberof records, procedure for matching, and relatedinformation are noted in the Technical Appendix.

The present study is a byproduct of the Uni-versity of Chicago Mortality Study, Social andEconomic Differentials in Mortality: UnitedStates, 1960, which is now providing nationwidestatistics on mortality differentials collected inthe 1960 census by social and economic charac-teristics.ll 2

This report evaluates the comparability ofclassification of residence as reported on thedeath certificate and on the 1960 census sched-ules. The report primarily evaluates coding dif-ferences between the Bureau of the Census andthe National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).The standard certificate of death (1956 Revision)

In order to develop uniform national statistics,NCHS issues standard certificates which serveas models for the States. With respect to the deathcertificate, the usual residence is the place wherethe deceased resided at the time of death. i30w-ever, in the case of persons residing in long-term institutions, assignment is made to the placewhere the deceased lived prior to admission, ifit is given.

In the 1960 Census of Population each indi-vidual enumerated was counted as an inhabitantof his usual place of abode which, for the mostpart, was the place where the individual livedmost of the time. Differences exist between cen-sus and vital statistics in determining the usualresidence for certain numerically small groupssuch as inmates of long-term institutions andresidents of foreign countries temporarily livingin the United States.

1

The residence data shown in this report weregrouped into six major categories:

(1) Urban places of 25,000 population or morein 1960

(2) Population-size groups of areas(3) Metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties,

urban and rural areas(4) Standard metropolitan statistical areas(5) Geographic divisions(6) Geographic regions

(For definitions of these geographic areas, seethe Technical Appendix.)

MAJOR FINDINGS

The classification of residence informationon the death certificates corresponds closely tothe place of residence as stated on the censusrecords for the decedents whose records werematched. The proportion of unmatched recordswas high—23 percent.

Considerable improvement in the quality ofthe residence data has taken place since 1950.This observation is based on a comparison of theresults of this study with those for a matchedrecord study involving births for 1950.

An inverse relationship exists between thesize of the geographic area and the degree of dif-ference found between census assignments andthose by NCHS. Differences diminish as the pop-ulation size of the area increases. Compared withcensus assignments, NCHS somewhat overstatesthe numbers of deaths for individual urban placesand understates those for rural areas. A com-parison of NCHS annual data with figures tabulatedby selected State offices of vital statistics showsthe same pattern.

Towns, townships, and boroughs in Connecti-cut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; urban fringeareas; and territorial annexations made between1950 and 1960 presented the greatest problemsto NCHS in properly allocating the residence ofdecedents.

The poorest age agreement between thecensus records and the death certificates was forthe nonwhite group at ages 85-99 years in thegeographic divisions comprising the South Region.

For three-fifths of the 729 urban places of25,000 population or more in 1960, either no

matched deaths for nonwhite persons were re-ported or fewer than 10 deaths were reported,thereby obscuring the comparison of differencesby color.

The average proportion of records unmatchedwas 50 percent higher for nonwhite than for whitepersons. Both the net difference rates by raceand the match status were more favorable for thewhite and Japanese groups than for other racialand ethnic groups. Differences by sex werenegligible.

A followback survey involving almost 10,000decedents showed that the distribution of matchedand unmatched records by nine population-sizegroups of geographic areas was not different.However, this general finding cannot be extendedto the more detailed residence data used in thisreport.

The findings of this study on the annual deathrate are limited by the fact that a sample ofdeaths is taken only for the summer months, anddata are for a single year. Other limiting factorsare covered in the Technical Appendix. The re-sults of this study generally indicate that theannual death rate for an individual urban placeis slightly overstated.

URBAN PLACES

A frequency distribution of net differencerates for 729 urban areas with a population of25,000 or more in 1960 is shown in table 1. Netdifference rates were computed by subtractingthe number of deaths matched at the usual placeof residence according to census assignmentsfrom those by NCHS assignments, dividing by thecensus figure, and multiplying by 100. A negativerate indicates more assignments by census thanby NCHS. The group “matched at usual residence”represents those decedents who died at the placewhere they had usually resided and had beenenumerated in the 1960 Census of Population. Netdifference rates based on 100 frequencies or more(according to census designations) are shownseparately from those based on fewer than 100deaths. The reason for this separation is that thevariance would be greater for rates based onsmall frequencies. Thisrange of rates—from O

latter group has a widerto 94.9—compared with

2

the range of O to49.9for the group in which therates are based on 100 deaths or more.

The median net difference rate for the 729areas falls at 3.0 percent. Based on 100 deaths ormore, the median is 2.9, and for small frequen-cies, 3.2. The size of the difference varies in-versely with the size of the urban area. Forareas of under 100,000 population, differences ofunderstatement by NCHS exceed those of over-statement.

As indicated in table 1, most of the differ-ences are positive, This finding is consistentwith that of other independent sources used forcomparison. In a previous matched-record studyinvolving births for 1950, the results were thesame as those of this study--an overstatement ofevents in the urban areas by NCHS compared withcensus records.s

Net difference rates for deaths in 1960 andbirths in 1950 for 221 selected urban areas werereviewed. The basis for the selection of the 221areas was the number of births included in the19S0 study, namely, 100 events according to eitherthe census record or the birth record. For 66.5percent of the areas the difference was positivefor births and deaths (more assignments by NCHSthan by census). The direction of the differencesfor births and deaths for the balance of the areaswas as follows:

Direction of diffwencePercent of

totul

Both negative --------------------- 7.2One positive and one negative-- ----- 16.3Zero net difference for either births

or deaths ----------------------- 10.0

The negative differences were not concentratedin any one State but were scattered among 32 ofthe 42 States and the District of Columbia, shownin table 2. This pattern was also typical of theother types of differences shown above.

The magnitude of the difference was substan-tially less for deaths than it was for births (table2), Two factors contributed to this difference.First, the addition of the residence checkbox itemon whether the place of residence was inside oroutside the city limits on the standard certifi-cates in 1956 aided in properly allocating the

residence of persons living near cities, but out-side the corporate limits. Certificates of birthsand deaths for the majority of States contain thischeckbox item. The second factor involves themobility of persons using hospitals. There ismore likelihood of movement for the utilizationof hospitals for births than for deaths.

A comparison was made between the annualnumber of deaths by place of residence as tabu-lated by NCHS and those tabulated by the variousState offices of vital statistics. For most regis-tration areas, NCHS figures were larger than theState tabulated data.

Three-fifths of the States or registrationareas had State assigned residence codes on themj crofilm copies of the death certificates re-ceived by NCHS for 1960. It is not known if thesecodes were assigned on the basis of censustracts, street maps, or if the codes were as-signed only on the basis of the information enteredin the residence section of the certificate. NCHSused the State codes in determining its own geo-graphic codes for only four States and for selectedlocal areas and counties in 11 other States.

The findings of the 1960 Comparison Studyshow the same pattern of difference when com-paring NCHS figures with either those of the Stateor the Bureau of the Census.

The primary reasons for the differencesbetween census and NCHS figures are to be foundin the enumeration process and vital registra-tion— the former giving greater support to theaccuracy of the census figures. In the 1960 Censusof Population, geographic locations can be fixedwith a high degree of precision by the use ofstreet maps and similiar aids. The situation isvery different with respect to the vital record,however. In assigning residence codes, NCHS is,for the most part, dependent on the informationentered in the section of the vital record per-taining to usual residence. Due to the greatnumber of vital records which NCHS must code,it is not feasible to verify all addresses by meansof a census tract or street guide.

Few extreme differences between census andNCHS assignments were observed. Only 14 of the729 areas had net difference rates of 50 percentor more. With the exception of Boise City, Idaho,the remaining 13 areas had fewer than 100 deathsmatched at the usual place of residence as re-

3

ported by either census or NCHS designations.

The average number of such records for thec’ombined 14 areas was below 50.

Not all of the excess differences can be ex-plained. Generally, the areas with these extremedifferences in code assignments between censusand NCHS fell into three groups. First, towns,townships, and boroughs were difficult to identifyand code for vital statistics purposes. Almostthree-fourths of the areas with large net dif-ference rates were towns or townships in Con-necticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In eachof these areas, the numbers of assignments wereunderstated by NCHS when compared with censusnumbers. For example, the first area listed inPennsylvania was Bristol Township—an areaof 59,298 population which was classified as ur-ban by special rule. In the same county— BucksCount y--there was also the incorporated areaof Bristol borough (population of 12,364) whichNCHS also classified as u~ban. Duplication ofplace names within a county and double entriesof place names on certificates resulted in prob-lems in correctly classifying geographic areas.

The second factor relating to extreme dif-ferences may be the number of annexations be-tween the two decennial census periods. Forexample, Hayward, California, had over a 400-percent increase in population, primarily due toannexations between 1950 and 1960. Frequently,the place names of the annexed areas are reportedas the decedent’s residence and thus may be im-properly classified. Several of the areas withsubstantial net differences had large annexationsbetween 1950 and 1960.

Finally, unincorporated areas which havemailing addresses and/or place names similarto that of an adjacent urban place present acoding problem. One such example is Boise City,Idaho, which is surrounded by unincorporatedareas with place names similar to Boise Citysuch as South Boise.

The numbers of deaths matched at the usualplace of residence were tabulated by color forthe 729 urban places having 25,000 population ormore in 1960. Comparisons of net differencerates for the white and nonwhite decedents werelimited by the small frequencies for the nonwhitegroup. Almost one-third of the 729 areas had nomatched deaths assigned according to either the

census record or death record for the nonwhitegroup (table 3). Another 4 percent of the areashad no frequency according to either census as-signments or those by NCHS and with only one ortwo deaths in the alternative cell. Consequently,no net difference rate could be computed. Anadditional one-third of the areas had frequenciesof fewer than 10, Net difference rates for whiteindividuals were lower than those for the nonwhitegroup for most areas. As the number of matcheddeaths increased, the net difference rates for thenonwhite group approached those for the white.

The urban places with at least 50 nonwhitedeaths or more assigned by both census and NCHSwere concentrated in the South Region (table 4).In this region the match status for both colorgroups was least favorable. About one-fourth ofthe records in the South were not matched andthus obscured the analysis of white-nonwhite dif-ferences.

The proportions of records which were un-matched for the nonwhite group were higher thanthose for the white in 324 of the 729 areas. How-ever, for three-fourths of the 324 areas therewere fewer than 20 unmatched deaths. The un-matched proportion was higher for white thannonwhite persons in only 92 of the 729 areas. Thebalance (43 percent) had no matched and/or un-matched deaths.

It can be concluded that no judgment can bemade about the white-nonwhite differences for theunmatched group for urban areas of 25,000 popu-lation or more throughout the country because ofthe small frequencies for nonwhite deaths exceptin the South Region.

POPULATION-SIZE GROUPS

Table 5 shows the numbers of deaths matchedat the usual place of residence for urban placesgrouped by population size as of 1960. As indi-cated previously, for the less definitive popula-tion- size groups in table 1, the magnitude of thenet difference rates varies inversely with thesize of the area. This inverse relationship ismore evident from data shown in table 1, thanfrom data shown in table 5. For alltrt%an areasof 100,000 population or over and for rural areas,the net difference rates are positive, indicatingmore assignments according to the death record

4

than by the census record. For all other urbanplaces, the direction of the difference is negative.

The group, urban areas of 2,500-10,000population, had the largest net difference rate(-9.0) compared with other population-sizegroups. There are slightly over 3,000 such areasand the problem of properly identifying the resi-dence of decedents of such areas has increasedso extensively since 1960 that starting with data-year 1964 NCHS no longer separately identifiessuch places. The reason for this change wasprimarily due to the fact that mailing addressesrather than the actual residence of the decedentswere often entered on the death record.

The proportions of records which were notmatched at the usual place of residence weresimilar for the various population- size groupswith the exception of that for rural areas. Theproportion for this latter group was 26 percentand the range for the other eight groups wasfrom 20 to 22 percent. Lack of a well definedplace of residence on the vital record undoubtedlycontributed to the high proportion of unmatchedrecords for rural areas.

Data for white and nonwhite individuals arealso included in table 5. The net difference ratesby population-size groups follow the same patternfor each color group as for the total population.For most of the population-size groups in table5, the net difference rates for the white groupwere higher than those for the nonwhite. How-ever, the proportion of the records which werenot matched at the usual place of residence wasabout 50 percent greater for nonwhite than forwhite persons. For urlxm places of a combinedpopulation of 25,000 or more, the unmatchedproportion was 19 percent for the white and 30for the nonwhite group.

Underenumeration in 1960 Census

of Population

There appears to be an association betweenthe net undercount in the 1960 Census of Popu-lat ion for geographic areas grouped by populationsize and the proportion of records unmatched inthe 1960 Comparison Study. Various methodswere used in estimating the coverage errors inthe 1960 census. One method was an estimate ofhousing unit coverage errors noted in Waksbergts

paper.q ‘rhe data relate only to field enumerationerrors and not to errors resulting from FOSDICProcessing (Film Optical Sensing Device for In-put to Computer). The highest net undercountswere reported for urban places of 500,000 popu-lation or more and for areas of under 10,000population. Likewise the proportion of recordsunmatched in the 1960 Comparison Study showedsomewhat the same distribution— low proportionsof unmatched records for groups of urban placesof 10,000 to 250,000 population and high propor-tions for areas above and below these populationgroups.

Followback Survey

One method of evaluating the character ofthe unmatched group was to followback by an in-dependent survey on a sample of matched andunmatched decedents. This was done for 9,475decedents of the 340,033 included in the compar-ison study. A survey questionnaire was mailedto the 9,475 informants whose names were enteredon the death certificates. On the basis of thequestionnaires returned and after personal inter-view followups, there was over 90-percent re-sponse.

The only residence data included in both thesurvey and the 1960 Comparison Study were thosefor population- size groups of areas. Table 6shows the number and percent distribution ofdeaths by population-size groups of areas includedin both the survey and the comparison study. Thedistributions were almost identical, thereby indi-cating that the survey was representative of themajor study. The number of records matched inboth the survey and the comparison study areshown in table 7. With the exception of the cate-gory 25,000 to 50,000, the distributions of matchedevents foliowed closely those of total eventsshown in table 6. The large difference for thiscategory was the result of processing errors. his probable that an additional 300 records in thesurvey in the group “25,000 or more, but notfurther defined” should be properly classified tothe size of areas, 25,000-50,000.

Table 8 shows data for the unmatched group.The number of decedents for which there was aresponse in the followback survey is shownseparately from that for which a response was

5

not received. Since this latter group included only221 records, it is not feasible to make a judgmentabout the differences between this distributionand that representing a response in the survey.

The percentage distribution by population-size group of the unmatched decedents for whichthere was a response in the survey differed onlyslightly from the matched groups (table 7). There-fore, it is probable that the matched and unmatcheddecedents were from the same “population.” Tobe conclusive, it would be necessary to have adistribution of deaths matched in the survey onlyand coded according to the responses in the survey.This was not done, however.

METROPOLITAN ANDNONMETROPOLITAN COUNTIESFOR URBAN -AND RURAL AREAS

Net difference rates and the proportion ofrecords unmatched for the combined groups ofmetropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties arepresented in table 9. The two groups of countiesare further classified by urban and rural areasfor color-sex groups.

Metropolitan counties had smaller net dif-ference rates and lower proportions of unmatchedrecords than nonmetropolitan counties. For thelatter group of counties there were more assign-ments according to the census record, whereasfor metropolitan counties there were more assign-ments according to the death record. Consistentwith the findings noted in the previous section,NCHS classified more deaths to urban areas thanto rural. The rural areas of both types of countieshave higher proportions of unmatched recordsthan urban areas. This may be related to the factthat rural areas generally have less definitivemailing addresses than urban areas. Conse-quently, matching the census and death recordsfor individuals who had resided in these areaswas not as successful as in urban areas.

The difference between census assignmentsand those by NCHS was greatest for rural areasin metropolitan counties (table 10). Likewise, theproportion of records not matched-- 27.4—wasconsiderably higher for this geographic compo-nent than for the others shown in the table. Therural section of metropolitan counties is uniquefor several reasons. First, the rural component

of metropolitan counties as defined for vital sta-tistics includes the “urban fringe,” that is, placessurrounding large metropolitan areas. This defi-nition differs from that used by the EighteenthDecennial Census insofar as the Bureau of theCensus classifies these fringe areas as urban.This difference is necessitated by the fact thatcensus can set up one-time boundaries for un-incorporated areas for its decennial enumerations,whereas NCHS must depend upon establishedpolitical delineations for a 10-year period. Arapid growth of new fringe areas took place be-tween the two census periods— 1950 and 1960.Such areas frequently had mailing addresses ofthe adja’cent incorporated urban places, and theseaddresses were reported as the usual place ofresidence. Consequently, there were difficultiesin matching.

The second factor to adversely affect thematch status was migration. As used here, mi-gration pertains to those persons 5 years of ageand over who moved from one county to anotherbetween April 1, 1955, and April 1, 1960. Theproportion of persons who moved to differentcounties in this quinquennial period was 21.1percent for the urban fringe of metropolitan areasand only 14.0 percent for the central cities ofmetropolitan counties.5

The social and economic characteristics ofthe rural parts of metropolitan areas are verydifferent from those for rural areas in nonmet-ropolitan counties. b From one point of view, therural section of metropolitan areas is more ur-ban in character than the rural section of non-metropolitan areas.

In regard to the net difference rates and theproportions unmatched, the differential bwweenthe white and the nonwhite groups is pronounced-both measures are higher for nonwhite than forwhite persons. The contrast between the directionof the net difference rates is noteworthy. Theserates for rural areas are negative for the whitegroup and positive for the nonwhite, The individualgeographic areas which comprise the rural totalare not separately identified in coding geographicinformation on the death certificates. This detailwould be necessary to attempt to explain the dif-ferences in the rates for the white and nonwhitegroups. Rural data were reviewed for the fourgeographic regions and the differences observed

6

in the North Central Region contributed most tothe high positive net difference rate for the non-white group.

(Death record is base of rate and minus signindicates more assignments by the death recordthan by the census record.)

STANDARD METROPOLITANSTATISTICAL AREAS

Table 11 shows a comparison of net differ-crtce rates for 25 standard metropolitan statistical~reils (SMSA’s) which were randomly selected,and the urban components of these same SMSAts.Here the urban components are limited to thoseplaces of 25,000 population or more in 1960since deaths for urban places below 25,000 popu-lation were not separately tabulated. All subse-quent references to these components will belimited to urban areas of 25,000 population ormore.

Data presented in this table show that the netdifference rates are, for the most part, lower forthe SMSA than for selected urban areas which area part of that SMSA. The SMSA is a county orgroup of contiguous counties and therefore in-cludes urban and rural areas. As noted in table9, NCHS data generally show an overstatementof events for urban places and an understate-ment for rural areas. As a result, the netdifference rate is low— the result of compensat-ing differences.

The SMSA’S with the highest proportion ofunmatched records were located in the SouthRegion with the West having the next highestproportion. This is not only true for the 25 SMSA’Sin table 11 but for all 201 SMSA’s (MSEA’s inNew England) and for other residence data in this

report. Both the South and the West Regions havea higher proportion of nonwhite persons thaneither the Northeast or North Central Regions.For this color group the unmatched proportionis less favorabje than that for the white group.Another factor is that migration is higher in theWest and South; therefore it is likely that theunmatched proportion would be higher in thesetwo regions than in the Northeast or the NorthCentral Regions.

The largest of the SMSA’S in table 11—Chicago, Illinois —had 22 urban components of25,000 population or more. The net differencerates for these areas ranged from O for severalcomponents to 91.4 for Oak Lawn, Illinois, butthe average was only 5.9 percent and the net dif-ference rate for the SMSA, 0.2 percent.

The number of matched deaths for SMSA~swas tabulated separately for two groups: Matchedat usual place of residence (UPOR) and matchedbut not at the usual place of residence. Thislatter group was numerically small and repre-sents those matched at the place of death (POD).The number and percentage breakdown of thenumber of records by match status areas follows:

Number Peycent

Total -------------- 532,948 100.0

Matched --------------- 420,292. 78.9UPOR --------------- 388,754 72.9POD ---------------- 31,538 5.9

Unmatched ------------- 112,656 21.1

The group matched at the place of death (POD)is different insofar as any comparison of residencecoding by census and NCHS is not applicable. Onefactor which accounts for a match at the place ofdeath rather than at the usual place of residenceis the difference between the enume~ ation processand the vital registration system. Persons resid-ing in long-term institutions were enumerated inthe census at these institutions prior to theirdeath, but the death record asks for the usualplace of residence prior to admission to the in-stitution. Therefore, the two geographic codesassigned are not the same.

The net difference rate for the total matchedgroup was 0.3 and for the two subgroups, UPORand POD, the rates were 0.0 and 4.1 (table 12).

7

The highest rates for the total group were ob-served for the three SMSA’S of Columbia, SouthCarolina; Pueblo, Colorado; and Tuscaloosa,Alabama. The high difference rates for the totalgroup were the result of matching at the place ofdeath. The distribution of net difference rates bytype of match is as follows:

Totul UPOR POD

Columbia, S.C ------ -22.3 -1.7 -77.5Pueblo, Colo -------- -30.3 -2.1 -85.7Tuscaloosa, Ala----- -37.4 - -92.5

In comparing the net difference rates bycolor only 57 SMSA’S were considered. The areaswere those to which 100 or more nonwhite deathswere assigned (table 13). Although the net differ-ence rates for the white group were higher forslightly over half of the 57 areas, the proportionunmatched was considerably higher for the non-white group (table 14). The frequency distributionof the proportion unmatched (using census as base)for the white and nonwhite groups is presentedbelow:

10.0 -19.9 ------------- 20 120.0 -29.9 ------------- 28 2630.0 -39.9 ------------- 9 2840.0-49 .9------------- - 2

Those areas for which the net difference ratesfor the nonwhite group did exceed those for thewhite were located for the most part in the SouthRegion, where the match status was least favor-able.

one purpose of the 1960 Comparison Studywas to evaluate the effect of the findings of thisstudy on the annual death rate. The annual deathrates for SMSA’S in 1960 are published in VitalStatistics of the United States, 1960, Vol. II, PartB. The method involves the following assumptions.First, the assignment of deaths to any SMSA

made by census is presumably the “correcttffigure rather than the NCHS figure for the May-August study period. As indicated previously, thedifference between the enumeration process andvital registration gives greater support to theaccuracy of the coding of geographic locations bythe Bureau of the Census. The second assumptionis that the population enumerated as of April 1,1960, for an SMSA is “correct.” Measures ofmisstatement of residence or underenumerationfor individual SMSA’S as of April 1 have notbeen published by the Bureau of the Census.

The annual rate could be adjusted on thebasis of the findings of this study. An upper andlower range of the annual rate could be computedas indicated below.

(1)

(2)

The upper range is derived as follows:

Increase or decrease the annual number ofdeaths by the percent difference ktween cen-sus and NCHS assignments for the studyperiod for the SMSA. If the census figure islower than the NCHS figure, the annual num-ber of deaths would be reduce~ if the NCHSfigure is lower, the annual figure would beincreased.

Compute the upper range of the annual ad-justed rate using the frequency derived instep 1.

in computing the upper range of the annual ad-justed rate, all unmatched deaths are assumed tobe carrectly assigned to the SMSA. In computingthe lower range of the annual adjusted rate, allunmatched deaths are assumed to be incorrectlyassigned to the SMSA. Therefore, the range of theannual adjusted rate is determined by the un-matched deaths.

The lower range of the annual adjusted rateis computed as follows:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Follow step 1 for the upper range.

Reduce the annual number of deaths by theproportion that unmatched deaths are of totaldeaths for the study period. The figure fortotal deaths is the sum of the matched andunmatched deaths.

Compute the lower range of the annual ad-justed rate using the frequency derived instep 2.

8

It is probable that the true adjusted rate is ckserto the upper range since it is most liiely that themajority of unmatched deaths are correctly as-signed.

The formulas for computing the adjustedrates and their application for one SMSA areshown in the Technical Appendix.

AGE BY GEOGRAPHIC DIVISION

Net difference rates vary slightly among thenine geographic divisions for the total population.In five of the divisions, the highest net differencerates—all negative—were reported for the agegroup 25-34 years. (Negative indicates more as-signments by census than by NCHS to an agegroup.) For the three divisions comprising theSouth Region, maximum positive net differenceswere observed for the interval 55-64 years. Thehighest net difference rate (-5.5) in the MiddleAtlantic divisiou was reported at ages 35-44 years(table 15). Division data discussed here and re-gion data discussed in the following section areaccording to census designations. These sectionsdiffer from those appearing previously insofaras they are a comparison of age and race, re-spectively, rather than a comparison of residence.A detailed analysis of age for the United Stateshas been covered in a report in Vitul and HealthStatistics, Series 2, No. 29.6

There was only a slight difference by sex,hut a pronounced difference by color when datawere compared by age for the divisions. Net dif-ference rates for nonwhite males and femaleswere considerably higher than those for whitemales and females. The highest rates were re-ported for nonwhite individuals below 25 years ofage. However, the rates are based on extremelysmall frequencies—generally about 10 deaths—for all divisions except those in the South Region.

In addition to net difference rates, the per-cent agreement between census and NCHS assign-ments was also computed. This measure wasderived by dividing the number of matched recordsclassified by a given age group by both censusand NCHS (the common cell) by the number ofmatched records classified to that same age groupby census. As was noted for net difference rates,extensive variability was observed for the percentagreements for the nine divisk ,1s by 10-year age

groups. Generally, the poorest agreement oc-curred at 85-99 years—the age group for whichthe annual age-specific death rate is maximal.The New England Division was an exception to thepatterw the percent agreement was poorest atthe younger ages rather than the older ages. Theobservations made for the net difference rates bycolor and sex are applicable to the percent agree-ments. Nonwhite differences between census andNCHS assignments were more extreme than thosefor white decedents and these differences weregreatest in the divisions comprising the SouthRegion.

With few exceptions, the proportions of rec-ords unmatched for males and females and forwhite and nonwhite persons were highest for theage groups 15-24 and 25-34 years in the ninegeographic divisions. For the most part, theexceptions to this pattern were for the interval1-4 years of age and the proportions were basedon small frequencies.

With respect to the characteristics of ageand race, there were two phases in the 1960Comparison Study. The difference between thetwo phases of the study relares to the two-stageenumeration in the 1960 Census of Population.All matched records in stage I represent dece-dents who were in the 100-percent enumeration.Stage II includes those decedents who werematched in stage I and who also were included inthe 25-percent sample of households. With re-spect to this study and the impact on vital rates,the important distinction is that in stage II, notstated and not valid codes for the majority ofitems were allocated. The method of allocation isdescribed in the various publications relating tothe 1960 Census of Population found in the bibli-ography. It is data from stage II which are usedin computing selected vital rates.

All data by age previously discussed havebeen derived from stage I. Table 16 shows fourseries of net difference rates for white malesfor the South Atlantic Division— stage I with andwithout the “not stated and not valid” codes andstage 11 with and without the allocations of the“not stated and not valid” codes. Stage I illus-trates better than stage II the “true” comparisonbetween data derived from the census record andthose from the death record. The fact that theeffect of the allocations on most age groups was

9

to increase the disparity between age reportingon the census record and the death record hasan impact on the analysis of mortality data.

RACE BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION

Detailed data for race for the United Statesand four regions are presented in tables 17 and18. The net difference rates for each of the re-gions were less than 1 percent for the whitegroup. The direction of the difference was alwayspositive, that is, more assignments were made tothe white group by NCHS than by census (censusrecord used as base). Two factors may contributeslightly to the direction of these differences.First, the number of “race not stated and notvalid” assignments according to census tabula-tions was 3,214, compared with 22 “race notvalid” assignments according to NCHS tabulations.Therefore, the figures for the white and for thenonwhite category by census designations are be-low those by NCHS designations for the UnitedStates and each region. Second, the death recordsfor which the race was not stated were assignedto “white” in the initial coding operation in NCHS,The number of “not stated” entries is not known,but presumably the figure is small.

Not only are the net difference rates gener-ally lowest for the white group but the proportionsof unmatched deaths are lowest. The latter factorgives greater validity to the net difference ratesfor the white population.

The net difference rates for the Negro racewere higher than those for the white and weregenerally positive; the rates were less than 2percent for the LMited States and each region.However, the proportion of records unmatchedwas approximately 30 percent for the Negro race—almost 50 percent above that for the white.

The net difference rates for the Indian groupwere negative for each region and lowest in theWest where the majority of the Indian reserva-tions are located. Self-enumeration of race, whichwas introduced in the 1960 Census of Population,may contribute to the excess of census recordsover death records which were coded as Indian.The annual death rate for the Indian group was8.6 per 1,000 population in the United States for1960 compared with 13.0 in 1950. The self-enumeration procedure in the 1960 census and

changes in classification by census of personsof mixed stock of Indian and other races contrib-uted to a sharp increase in the Indian populationbetween the two census years. This artifact ob-served in the anual death rates is consistent withthe findings of this study.

With the exception of those for the West, theregional net difference rates for Chinese, Japa-nese, and Filipino are based. on such small fre-quencies as to render the rates statisticallyunreliable. The net difference rate for the Japa-nese in the West was -0.6 which was the lowestof any net difference rate for any racial categoryfor the United States or any of the four regions.The match status for this racial group— 18 per-cent— is superior to that of the other racialcategories in the West Region or in the UnitedStates as a whole. The net difference rate for theChinese is 0.9—the same as that for the whitegroup in this region. The proportion unmatchedis about the same for the two categories— 22for the white group and 23 for the Chinese. Thenet difference rates for the “other nonwhite”group showed the greatest divergence betweencensus assignments and those by NCHS. Likewisethe proportion unmatched is highest—approxi-mately 50 percent (census record used as abase).If the death record is used as a base, the equiva-lent proportion is below 30 percent because thedenominator of the proportion would be substan-tially larger. It is difficult to explain the largedifference between census assignments and thoseby NCHS for this group because it is an “all other”category. Differences may exist in interpretationbetween census and NCHS as to what should beincluded in this “all other” group.

Regional differences for each sex group wereexamined only for the white and nonwhite cate-gories since the frequencies for the racial groupswere very small. Net difference rates for femaleswere lower than those for males for each regionexcept the West.

In stage H of the 1960 Comparison Studythere were 87,905 matched records. Of thisnumber 1,145 or 1.3 percent had no entry forrace ~’not valid” included). After the 1,145 rec-ords were assigned a code for race, the assign-ments were compared with the codes for race onthe death records for those 1,145 decedents. Therewas only 20 percent agreement. The effect on the

10

comparison study was to bring into closer agree-ment the assignments of codes by census andNCHS to the white category. The reverse effectoccurred with respect to most of the nonwhiteracial groups. A comparison of the net differ-ence rates for stages I and H by race for theUnited States is shown below. (Census record isused as base and minus sign indicates more as-signments by census than by NCHS.)

If the annual death rates for the two groups,white and nonwhite, are evaluated in terms of thefindings noted above, the effects are negligible.However, rates for specified nonwhite racialgroups would & affected. For example, the netdifference rate for the Japanese according tostage I is -0.9 and according to stage II, +7.5.The latter net difference rate (+7.5) representsfewer allocations of “not stated” to the Japanesethan the findings of this study would warrant. Theeffect would k to overstate the published annualdeath rate for the Japanese from 5.1 per 1,000population to 5.5.

Design of Study

The study includes a sample of registereddeaths which occurred during the 4-month period,May-August, 1960. ‘l%e following age-colorgroups were included:

1. All nonwhite decedents

2. All white decedents under 65 years of age

3. One-half of white decedents 65-74 yearsof age

4. One-fifth of white decedents 75 years andover

The records for white decedents were systemati-cally selected from the regular mortality punched-card file using the randomly assigned terminal

threeand fourof Imth the matched and unmatchedrecords were inflated by two and five, respec-tively, during the processing operation.

As indicated in table 1, the actual count ofdeath certificates included in the match operationwas 340,033. Of this number, 495 records wereexcluded because of “impossible” codes—483matched and 12 records unmatched.

Also included in table I are the inflated countsof records by match status. ‘‘”

A seasonaI bias may be introduced since thedeaths were limited to May-August. But an exami-nation of ‘‘nonmatch” rates by month, particularlyApril and September, for a previous study involv-ing the occupation item on the ‘census and deathrecords,7 resulted in a decision to limit this studyto the 4-month period. ‘ ‘“

Criteria for Matching

Copies of the 340,033 death certificates in-cluded in this study were coded for the stage ICensus Enumeration District (ED). A recordwas considered matched if the exact streetaddress of residence and the name of the dece-dent were located in the ED book. Other infor-mation such as date of birth and marital statuswere used if the above criteria did not resultin a match.

If infants under 1 year of age were notlocated in the ED kook, an attempt was made tomatch via the mother. The infants representeda high nonmatch risk group since mmy of themwere born after the 1960 Census of Populationand therefore were not enumerated.

Almost 6 percent of the records were matchedat the place of death, rather than the usual placeof residence. Those persons matched at the placeof death were for the most part those who diedin institutions. , ,

Decedents matched in stage I and included inthe 25-percent sample of the 1960 Census of Popu-lation, referred to as stage II, were then searchedin the stage 11 books. There were 64,675 suchdecedents and all but 2,188 were located in thestage H census records. The names of these 2,188decedents could pot be located on the appropriatepages of the stage’ II schedules.

A host of reasons exists for failure to matchthe death certificate to the census record:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

The decedent may have moved after thedate .of enumeration on April 1.

The decedent may not have been enu-merated.

Clerical and machine errors occurredat all stages of ~ study.

,Misstaterncmt6 pf information were en-tered on the census record and/or thedeath certificate.

Variances

The sample design has been discussed in aprevious section, “Design of Study.” To obtainthe sampling error of an estimate of tbe net

difference rate for a given geographic area, itwould be necessary to know the number of deathrecords for white decedents 65-74 years of ageand 75 years and over during May-August 1960for geographic areas botb before and after sam-pling. The death records were sampled but thecolor designations for most geographic areaswere based on the color on the census record.Although all nonwhite decedents were includedin the study period, a decedent stated to bewhite on the death record may be nonwhite onthe census record and vice versa. Therefore,it is not possible to state that the samplingerror is zero for the nonwhite group shown inthe tables.

Age

The age reported on the death record isgenerally the age of the decedent at his lastbirthday. If the rqmrted age did not agree withthe computed age (the difference between the dateof death and the date of birth on the certificate),the stated age was accepted unless the differencewas 5 years or more. If the difference was 5years or more, entries for other items on thevital record such as cause of death, occupation,marital status, and social security number wereconsidered in determining the age. Most of thedifferences involved infants. Therefore, the afore-mentioned characteristics would give some in-dication of the “correct” age. If a discrepancyoccurred such as 25 years for the computed ageand 35 for the stated age, the stated age wasaccepted.

The age classification used in the 1960Census of Population is based on the quarter ofthe year of birtb as of April 1, 1960. For thisstudy, the age was updated to adjust for a birth-day that might have occurred between the dateof the census and the time of death.

As indicated in the tables showing data byage, the number of matched records for dece-dents under 1 year of age and 100 years and over,according to the census record, are excluded.The number of records with negative ages arealso excluded. Infants were excluded becausemany were born after the date of enumerationon April 1, 1960. There were 23,176 records

57

for infants. Decedents 100 years and over andthose with negative ages were omitted becausethere was an excessive number of errors in thecentury-of-birth codes on the census record. Forexample, if the year of birth was actually 1861and the century code for 1900 was assigned, theresult was a negative age. There were 1,452 suchrecords, that is, for persons 100 years and overand for negative ages. Such exclusions were madeto maintain comparability in order to betterassess differences in age reported on the tworecords.

Additional technical problems relating toage reported on the vital record are coveredin another report.6

Race and Color

Deaths in the United States in 1960 areclassified for vital statistics purposes into white,Negro, American and Alaskan Indian, Chinese,Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Filipino, Hawaiian,part-Hawaiian, and other nonwhite. The U.S.Bureau of the Census uses the same classifi-cation.

Tabulations in this study by race weregrouped as follows:

WhiteNonwhite:

NegroIndian (American and Alaskan)JapaneseChineseFilipinoOther nonwhite (Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian,

part-Hawaiian, and racial mixtures ex-cept as noted below)

Not stated and not valid

The category “white” includes, in addition to per-sons reported as “white,” those reported as Mexi-can or Puerto Rican. If race is given as a mixtureof Negro with any other race except Hawaiian, therace is classified as Negro. Mixtures of Hawaiianand any other race are classified as “other non-white. ”

In stage I the number of census records forwhich the race item was not stated is combinedwith “not valid” codes (processing errors) andshown as a single group in the race tables. Ihe

relative number of such records is small—lessthan 1 percent of the matched records. If therace was not entered on the death record, thecode for “white” was assigned in the initialcode-punch operation in NCHS. Consequently,the category “not stated and not valid” accord-ing to death certificate designations includes onlyinvalid codes. The number of such records issmall. This factor is noted, not because it seri-ously invalidates the net difference rates, butbecause the category “not stated and not valid”was excluded from most of the residence tables.Therefore, figures by white and nonwhite do notadd to the total.

With the exception of table 18 which showsa comparison of detailed groupings of race, thetables show the color item according to censusdesignations. The purpose was to compare asingle characteristic such as data for an SMSAaccording to census and to death record assign-ments. 71erefore, all other characteristics suchas age, sex, and color in that table were bvcensus designations so as not td distort the com-parison of the variable being compared.

Sex

In a table showing a characteristic such asage or race classified by se~, the sex of thematched decedent is that stated on the censusrecords in order not to invalidate the character-istic being compared. :)

The small number of deaths for which thesex was not stated-O.5 perdent of the totalmatched records—is included in the total inthose tables containing sex, but the categoryis not shown separately. ‘

Urban and Rural Areas ‘ “,.4r.i,~.l ,:

The urban-rural definitions used by NCHSdiffer from those used for data published by theU.S. Bureau of the Census. For this study, theBureau of the Census assigned the residencecodes on the census records of the decedentsincluded in this study according to the rulesused for vital statistics. Therefore, the figuresfor urban and rural are comparable with respectto the application of rules, and the differences

58

between the NCHS figures and those tabulated bycensus result from the entries on the two recordsor processing errors. As noted earlier, differ-ences in the enumeration process and the regis-tration system give greater weight to the accuracyof the census figures. For the decemial census,geographic locations can be fixed with a high de-gree of accuracy by the Bureau of the Censusthrough the use ~f street maps, census tracts,and the like. NCHS is dependent almost entirelyon the information entered in the residence itemon the vital record.

For the definitions of urban and rural asused for vital statistics purposes, see VitulSi!utistics of the United Stutes, 1960, VolumeII, Part A.

Geographic Divisions and Regions

The nine divisions and four regions referredto in this reprt correspond to those used by theU.S. Bureau of the Census. For States included ineach division and region, see reference 8.

Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas

The standard metropolitan statistical areas(SMSA’S) used in this report are the same as thoseestablished by the JJ.S. Bureau of the Budget as of1960 (except in the New England States) and usedby the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

Except in the New England States, an SMSAisa county or a group of contiguous counties whichcontains at least one city of 50,000 inhabitants ormore or “twin cities’,’ with a combined populationof at least SO,000, in the 1960 census. Contiguouscounties are included in an SMSA if, according tospecified criteria, they are (1) essentially metro-politan in character and (2) socially and economi-cally intergrated Iwith the central city or cities.

In New England the Bureau of the Budget usestowns and cities 1rather than counties as geo-graphic components of SMSA‘s. NCHS cannot usethe SMSA classification in New England becauseits data are not coded to identify all towns. Insteadthe metropolitan State economic area (MSEA)established by the Bureau of the Census, whichis made up of county units, is used. (For a morecomplete discussion of SMSA’s and MSEA’s, seereferences 8-10.)

Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Counties

Counties which are included in SMSA’S, orin New England MSEA’S, are called metropolitancounties; all other counties are classified asnonmetropolitan.

Net and Gross Difference Rates

Net difference rates for matched deaths werecomputed as follows:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Subtract the number of records accord-ing to census assignments only fromthose according to NCHS assignmentsonly

Divide the number obtained in step 1 bythe number of records for which there isagreement between census and NCHS pluscensus assignments only

Multiply by 100

Most tables contain net difference rates with thecensus record as base; thus a negative rateindicates more assignments by census than byNCHS. If the death record is the base, a nega-tive rate signifies more assignments by NCHS.In most instances the base is inconsequential.If the differences are relatively large, the ratemay vary greatly depending on the base.

Gross difference rates were computed bysumming the differences rather than subtractingthe differences as for net difference rates. Other-wise the computation was the same.

Due to a programming error the first digitof the gross difference rates was not printed outon the tabulations in many instances. Rather thanmanually correct all of these errors, only a fewwere recomputed for inclusion in this report.

Symbols

Si - Number of assignments are the sameaccording to both the census record and thedeath record

c, = Number of assignments according to thecensus record only

di = Number of assignments according to thedeath record only

ndr, = Net difference rate

gd~ = Gross difference rate

Formulas

Net difference rate:

Census record is base.

d,- C,x 100 = ndrl

s, +Ci

Death record is base.
