Family Poverty Status and Family Poverty Level Variables

Introduction

The Family Poverty Status variable is calculated using a combination of reported family income, the number of family members in the respondent's household, and the national Poverty Income Guidelines, which are updated yearly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

NLSY79 Appendix 22: Migration Distance Variables for Respondent Locations

To support research on respondent mobility, we created a series of variables for the distance between respondent addresses at each interview round. This supplements the data on state and county of residence in the Geocode release. These variables are available only on the Geocode data release. Researchers interested in obtaining the geocode CD must apply to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
