=================
This directory contains US Census intercensal population estimates by
state, age and sex for 1970 to 1999.
Variables:
year all years
fips all years state fips code (1-56)
state all years state name (1990+) or 2-letter abbreviation (1970-1989)
state2 all years 2-letter state abbreviation
age 1980+ age
agegr 1970-1979 age category
pop 1970-1979 population
popm 1980+ male population
popf 1980+ female population
Interestingly the agegr variable has two values for 62-64 years of
age, "62-64M" and "62-64F", presumably showing the distribution
by sex for those ages only.
In the original tables the state is given both as a fips code and a
character variable which is sometimes a 2-letter abbreviation and
sometimes the full name spelled out. I have created a new variable
state2 which is always a 2 letter abbreviation. If someone wants to send
me code to interpolate the age variable from agegr, I'd be glad to run
that.
In addition to the three .dta (stata) files forwarded by Steve Pischke,
there are .dta and .csv files combining all 30 years into one. Only these
combined files have the state2 variable. Translation was done by
Stat/Transfer.

Subject: original population files
Here are the original files with the population data, basically just
reading the Census Bureau information into Stata Since these were
typically single year files, it is probably quite useful to have this put
together. You can give it to Dan if he wants to put it on the NBER data
website.
