Linked NC births and education data, Grade 4, cohort years 1993-2005

This dataset is the combination of two sources: 1. 'Births' – Detailed birth records for births in North Carolina from 1990 through 2013. 2. 'Education' – End-of-grade education information for students in North Carolina public or charter schools in grades 3-8 for school years 2002-2003 through 2015-2016. The resulting linked dataset includes all birth and education records for children born in the cohort years, regardless of whether they are linked.

Linked NC births and lead test results data, cohort years 1992-2009

This dataset is the combination of two sources: 1. 'Births' – Detailed birth records for births in North Carolina from 1990 through 2013. 2. 'Lead' – Blood lead level (BLL) test results for children residing in North Carolina for October 1992 through December 2015. The resulting linked dataset includes all birth and lead records for children born in the cohort years, regardless of whether they are linked. Indicators are provided to easily identify records that contain both birth and lead data for a child, only birth information, or only lead information. All records are retained so that researchers can compare the linked population to those not linked and identify biases if they exist

Racial isolation values based on the 1990 census block group level using the 2010 census boundaries

These data contain a residential isolation value for non-Hispanic blacks (NHB) and non-Hispanic whites (NHW) at the census block group level. Population counts from the 1990 census using the 2010 census boundaries are used to calculate the index. For each block group, the index is the proportion of the population (NHB or NHW) in the index block group and block groups adjacent to the index block group. Islands (areal units with no first-level adjacent areal units) are removed as it is not possible to calculate isolation for units with no adjacent block groups.

Neighborhood Deprivation Index for year 2000, using the 2000 census geographic boundaries

The NDI provides a measure of neighborhood deprivation at the census tract level, with higher values corresponding to more severe deprivation. Each state's values are analyzed independently. The NDI empirically summarizes eight census variables representing five domains: income/poverty, education, employment, housing, and occupation. The eight census variables include the percent of: (1) males in management and professional occupations; (2) crowded housing; (3) households in poverty; (4) female-headed households with dependents; (5) households on public assistance; (6) households with earnings less than $30,000 per year; (7) individuals with less than a high school education; and (8) individuals that are unemployed. The NDI is calculated using a principal components analysis (Messer et al. 2006), such that the NDI values produced depend on the study area that is used in the NDI calculation. Specifically, the NDI value calculated for a given census tract will differ if the NDI was calculated using, for example, all tracts in the county vs. all tracts in the state vs. all tracts in the United States. Prior to selecting, calculating, or using the NDI, it is critically important to define the study area and analytical goals so that the most appropriate study domain is used for the NDI calculation.
