Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Urban Studies and Planning 2000 Census Variable Locator This document will help you find the right census data file. The document includes information on the file naming structure. Finding the Right Census Data File Once you know which census table your data variable falls in you can find the Census data file that you need. Determine the 2000 Census data field you need. Find the data field in the Starting and Ending Matrix fields in the table below. Once you find your number scan across to find the appropriate Census file name. Census File Naming Conventions st = USPS state abbreviation iii = the characteristic iteration (total population, race groups, American Indian and Alaska Native tribes, and Hispanic/Latino groups). These only apply to SF 2 and SF 4. In SF 1 and SF 3, the characteristic iteration will always be 000. yy = the number of the file. Valid codes are 01 through 76.
