Dataset: The Health of Houston Survey 2010

Variable zip_28: ZIP28 aggregation area [C]

Literal Question

The variable was created from multiple survey questions, specifically S8., S9., and S9a.

Descriptive Text

The variable is a derived aggregation from a question asking about the person's main residence ZIP Code, as well as a follow-up question to confirm Harris County as the county of residence. Because of the accuracy of the sampling strategy, we are able to assign our participating households into 28 familiar, neighborhood areas by relying on their ZIP Codes. This assignment permits us to draw valid conclusions about each area based on our sampled households and, at the same time, to protect the anonymity of our individual respondents. Each of the ZIP28 areas represents an aggregation of 5 or more Zip Codes. The universe for this variable includes all respondents.
