Description
Definition
This variable identifies the general code for Hispanic/Spanish/Latino origin and classifies people according to their country of origin when possible. Origin is defined as ancestry, nationality group, or country of birth. People of Hispanic origin may be of any race; see race (US50A428) for a discussion of coding issues involved.
The general code variable (1 digit) covers country-of-origin classifications common across US samples. See Hispanic origin rule (US50A435) for details on how country of origin information was assigned.
