This report describes the relationship of socioeconomic status to selected demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population. Two summary socioeconomic measures developed in connection with the 1960 Census program are used: (1) A multiple-item socioeconomic status score (which combines measures of occupation, education, and income), and (2) a status consistency type, designed to indicate whether the components of the multiple-item score are at about the same or different levels and, when at different levels, the pattern of inconsistency. Related variables included in this report are age, color, urban-rural residence, labor force status, and fertility of women. The data are based on a sample of 1-in-1,000 of the 1960 Census records and are subject to sampling variability as explained in the section on "Source and reliability of the estimates."
