The legal aspects of this action may result in both the primary incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to exist as legal entities, even though the county or MCD performs few or no governmen- tal functions and has few or no elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one or more other incorporated places in the county or MCD continue to function as separate governments, even though they have been included in the consolidated government, the primary incorporated place is referred to as a "consolidated city." Consolidated cities appear only in files RC92A1.dbf, WC92A1.dbf, SC92A1.dbf, and MC92A1.dbf, where they appear immediately after the appropriate county data and immediately before the records for the semi-independent places and "consolidated city (balance)" that comprise them. Each consolidated city is assigned a one-character alphabetic census code. Each consolidated city also is assigned a five-digit FIPS code that is unique within State. The semi-independent places and the "consolidated city (remainder)" carry the same consolidated city code, but have their own five- digit FIPS place codes that are unique within State.

These areas are called parishes in Louisiana. In Alaska, 23 boroughs and "census areas" are treated as county equivalents for census purposes. Several cities (Baltimore, MD, St. Louis, MO, Carson City, NV, and 41 cities in Virginia) are independent of any county organization and, because they constitute primary divisions of their States, are accorded the same treatment as counties in census tabulations. That part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana is treated as a county equivalent. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered equivalent to a county for statistical purposes. Kalawao County, HI, is combined with Maui County for statistical purposes. Counties are identified by a 3-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code, which is sequenced alphabetically within state, except for the independent cities, which follow the listing of counties within state.disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment xDOMAIN error ySING error zTLOSS error ż: MATH - floating-point error: einvalid gdivide by 0 hoverflow nstack overflow pexplicitly generated R6000 - stack overflow R6003 - integer divide by 0 R6009 - not enough space for environment ü ’run-time error ’’’ GEOTYPE Type of Geography The type-of-geography code is the most efficient way to select all geographic areas of a particular type, for example, all counties or all places.

Some MA's are defined around two or more nuclei. Each MA must contain either a place with a minimum population of 50,000 or a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area and a total MA population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). An MA comprises one or more central counties. An MA also may include one or more outlying counties that have close economic and social relationships with the central county. An outlying county must have a specified level of commuting to the central counties and also must meet certain standards regarding metropolitan character, such as population density, urban population, and population growth. In New England, MA's are composed of cities and towns rather than whole counties. The territory outside MA's is referred to as "nonmetropolitan." Consolidated and Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA and PMSA) If an area that qualifies as an MA has more than one million persons, primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA's) may be defined within it. PMSA's consist of a large urbanized county or cluster of counties that demonstrates very strong internal economic and social links, in addition to close ties to other portions of the larger area. When PMSA's are es- tablished, the larger area of which they are component parts is designated a consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA). Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's) are relatively freestanding MA's and are not closely associated with other MA's. These areas typically are surrounded by nonmetropolitan counties. Each metropolitan area is assigned a four-digit FIPS code, in alphabetical order nationwide. If the fourth digit of the code is a "2," it identifies a CMSA. Additionally, there is a separate set of two-digit codes for CMSA's (presented only in GEOREF92.dbf), also assigned alphabetically. MSA and PMSA codes are carried on the records of the counties and places that comprise them, except in New England where MA's may cross county boundaries. New England counties are assigned MSA and PMSA codes of "0000". Outside of New England, nonmetropolitan counties and places have MSA and PMSA codes of "9999" Over half of all metropolitan areas changed boundaries between the 1987 and 1992 economic censuses, largely reflecting changes in commuting patterns as shown in the 1990 population census. The definition of each metropolitan area (including county components and noting any changes since 1987) may be displayed as by pressing for definition while the cursor is highlighting the metropolitan area name in EXTRACT's Select-Records or Display-to-Screen mode. disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment x Geographic area series and nonemployer statistics files for retail, wholesale, and services include records for parts of places that cross county boundaries, and those records are designated with a part code of "P". Records for the totals of those places are assigned a county code of "000", but such totals are included only for those places that have 350 or more retail or service establishments or 200 or more wholesale establishments. Data records are sequenced by state and county, although indexes are available that sequence all records for a given split place together. One file--MC92A4--includes records for parts of metropolitan areas that cross state boundaries, and those records are also designated with a part code of "P".

Hawaii does not have incorporated places that are recognized for census purposes, so data there are provided for census designated places (CDP's) with 2,500 or more inhabitants. All told, data are presented for 6920 places in the United States. Selected Towns and Townships -- Some county subdivisions, such as towns and townships, are not classified as incorporated places for census purposes. Statistics are presented in the 1992 Economic Census for towns in the six New England states, New York, and Wisconsin, and townships in Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania with a 1990 census population of 10,000 or more. These 669 towns and townships are presented in the same tables as places. The place code is a five-digit FIPS code assigned to places (including independent cities) in alphabetic sequence within a state. Its use largely replaces that of the 4-digit census place code used in earlier censuses. The geographic reference file includes the 4-digit PLACE87 code to assist in linking data between 1992 and earlier files. All incorporated municipalities with populations of fewer than 2,500, town and townships not qualifying as noted above, and the remainders of counties outside places are categorized as "Balance of county" and assigned a place code of "99999". disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment xDOMAIN error ySING error zTLOSS error ż: MATH - floating-point error: einvalid gdivide by 0 hoverflow nstack overflow pexplicitly generated R6000 - stack overflow R6003 - integer divide by 0 R6009 - not enough space for environment ü ’run-time error ’’’ Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area A PMSA is a subdivision of a CMSA, and is identified by a four-digit code. In data files, PMSAs are grouped together with other PMSAs in the same CMSA. PMSA codes are carried on the records of the counties and places that comprise them, except in New England where PMSAs may cross county boundaries. New England counties are assigned an PMSA code of "0000". Outside New England, counties and places not in a PMSA have a PMSA code of "9999" d Census Regions Census regions are groupings of States that subdivide the United States for the presentation of data. There are four regions--Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Each of the four census regions is divided into two or more census divisions. Prior to 1984, the Midwest region was named the North Central region. Census divisions are groupings of States that are subdivisions of the four census regions. There are nine divisions, which the Census Bureau adopted in 1910 for the presentation of data. Economic census data are published for regions only in the Census of Construction Industries. Regions also appear in files of Monthly Retail Trade and Inventories. The regions, divisions, and their constituent States are show below, along with their REGION codes that appear in GEOREF92.dbf. Since economic census data files do not allow for a separate code field for region, codes 91 to 94 are used in the ST State code field for regions 1 to 4 respectively. Census State (STCENSUS) codes are also presented to show their relationship to the region codes.

Each State and equivalent area also is assigned a two-digit census code (STCENSUS), but that code appears only in the geographic reference file GEOREF92.dbf. The STCENSUS code is assigned on the basis of the geographic sequence of each State within each census division; the first digit of the code is the code for the respective division.

It is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may consist of one establishment or more. Most economic census data represent a summary of reports for individual establishments rather than companies. For cases where a census report was received, separate information was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrative records of other Federal agencies were used instead of a census report, no information was available on the number of locations operated. Estimates of this number were derived from a sample and are provided in the RC92A2, WC92A2, SC92A2, FC92A2, and UC92A2 files. Each establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the business was conducted. The count of establishments represents those in business at any time during 1992. The same files cited above include a comparison of the number of establishments active any time during the year versus the number in business at the end of the year. When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, all activities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishment was classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classification. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classification codes were appropriate) were conducted under the same ownership at a single location, and when conditions prescribed by the SIC manual for recognizing the existence of more than one establishment were met, separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census. Leased departments are treated as separate establishments and are classified to the kind of business they conduct. For example, a leased department selling shoes within a department store would be considered a separate retail establishment under the "shoe store" classification. COUNTS OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES DO NOT INCLUDE "NONEMPLOYERS", I.E., ESTABLISHMENTS WITH NO PAID EMPLOYEES.

Firms -- A firm is a business organization or entity consisting of one domestic establishment (location) or more under common ownership or control. All establishments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or controlling firm. For the economic censuses, the terms "firm" and "company" are synonymous. Auxiliary establishments -- Each company included in this census was asked to identify and report separately those auxiliary locations whose primary functions were to manage, administer, service, or support the activities of the other establishments of the company. Data presented in this report does not include auxiliary establishments. Data for auxiliaries which primarily service retail establishments are presented in a subsequent report issued as part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.  NUMBER OF ESTABLISHMENTS An establishment is defined as a single physical location in the United States with one paid employee or more at any time during the year where manufacturing or mining is performed. A single manufacturing or mining location may be split into multiple establishments when the location is engaged in distinctly different lines of activity of significant size, and when records permit such a separation. This value excludes separately operated and located administrative offices, warehouses, garages, and other auxiliary units that service manufacturing or mining establishments of the same company. For oil and gas field operations and for mining contract services, the definition of "establishment" differs from that used for other types of mining. Firms operating oil and gas wells, drilling wells, or exploring for oil and gas for their own account were required to submit a separate report for each State or offshore area adjacent to a State in which it conducted such activities. Firms which supplied contract services for oil and gas field operations or for mining establishments were required to submit one report covering all such activities in the United States. These consolidated service reports were then allocated to State establishments based on the data reported at the State level. disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment xDOMAIN error ySING error zTLOSS error ż: MATH An establishment is counted as operating the full year if it was in operation 10 or more months during 1992.

These data may understate the true cost of imported parts, components, and supplies since some respondents do not know the origin of these materials.

Primary products are defined as those products assigned to an industry, while secondary products are defined as those considered primary to other industries. Miscellaneous receipts include receipts for miscellaneous activities such as merchandising, contract work, resales, etc.  In addition to the total cost of supplies used, purchased machinery installed, etc., which every establishment was required to report, information also was collected on the consumption of major supplies used in mining. These inquiries were restricted to supplies which were important parts of the cost of production, exploration, and development of a particular industry and for which cost information was available. File NC92F7 contains information on specific supplies consumed. On report forms for most mineral industries (except the contract services and the crude petroleum and natural gas industries), a uniform inquiry was included on minerals prepared at the reported establishments. Figures were obtained on crude minerals mined at the establishment (quantity), received from other establishments of the company or purchased from others (quantity and cost), and received for preparation on a custom or toll basis (quantity and estimated value). Establishments consuming less than a specified amount (usually $25,000) were not required to report the cost of a supply. For small establishments for which administrative records were used, the cost of supplies was included in "not specified by kind."

The result of this calculation then is adjusted by the addition of value added by merchandising operations (that is, the difference between the sales value and cost of merchandise sold without further manufacturing, processing, or assembly) plus the net change in finished goods and work-in-process inventories between the beginning and end of the year. For those manufacturing industries where value of production is collected instead of value of shipments, value added is adjusted only for the change in work-in-process inventories between the beginning and end of the year. For those industries where value of work done is collected, the value added does not include an adjustment for the change in finished goods or work-in-process inventories. For mining industries, this measure of activity is derived by subtracting the total cost of supplies used, purchased machinery installed, etc., from the sum of the value of shipments and receipts (mining products plus receipts for services rendered) and total capital expenditures. Value added avoids the duplication in the figure for value of shipments which results from the use of products of some establishments as supplies, energy sources, or materials by others. Moreover, for the mining industries, it provides a measure of value added not only in mineral production but also in the development of mineral properties. Value added is considered to be the best value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of manufacturing and mining among industries and geographic areas. disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment xDOMAIN error ySING erro VALUE ADDED Derived for each establishment, value added is equal to dollar value of business done, less costs for construction work subcontracted to others, and costs for materials, components, supplies and fuels. disk full<>R6002 - floating point not loaded R6001 - null pointer assignment xDOMAIN error ySING error zTLOSS error ż: MATH - floating-point error: einvalid gdivide by 0 hoverflow nstack overflow pexplicitly generated R6000 - s DOLLAR VALUE OF BUSINESS DONE In earlier censuses, the dollar value of business done included the receipts from the sale of land.

In the 1992 CBO Survey, the term "All Businesses" represents the total firm count of all sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations (excluding C corps) determined to be active anytime during the year of 1992. "All Businesses" includes employer, nonemployer, minority, nonminority, women, and male-owned firms. C corporations, estates, and trusts were excluded from the CBO survey.  An enterprise industry category (EIC) is a group of four-digit SIC industries that were specifically designed to relate to enterprises rather than to establishments. EIC is an adaptation of the four-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system which provides a classification system meaningful in expressing consolidated company aggregates of the establishment data collected in the economic censuses. For more specifics regarding industrial classification, see 1) Appendix C, Comparison of Industrial Classification Codes. This table in the Enterprise publication outlines the Enterprise Industry Categories (enterprises or companies) with Standard Industrial Classifications (establishments). 2) The 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual.  Establishments An establishment is a single physical location at which business is conducted. It is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may consist of one establishment or more. Most economic census data represent a summary of reports for individual establishments rather than companies. For cases where a census report was received, separate information was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrative records of other Federal agencies were used instead of a census report, no information was available on the number of locations operated. Estimates of this number were derived from a sample and are provided in the RC92A2, WC92A2, SC92A2, FC92A2, and UC92A2 files. Each establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the business was conducted. The count of establishments represents those in business at any time during 1992. The same files cited above include a comparison of the number of establishments active any time during the year versus the number in business at the end of the year. When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, all activities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishment was classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classification. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classification codes were appropriate) were conducted under the same ownership at a single location, and when conditions prescribed by the SIC manual for recognizing the existence of more than one establishment were met, separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census. Leased departments are treated as separate establishments and are classified to the kind of business they conduct. For example, a leased department selling shoes within a department store would be considered a separate retail establishment under the "shoe store" classification. COUNTS OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES DO NOT INCLUDE "NONEMPLOYERS", I.E., ESTABLISHMENTS WITH NO PAID EMPLOYEES. See Nonemployer Statistics on CD-ROM volume 4 for subnational data for retail trade; service industries; finance, insurance, and real estate; and transportation, communication, and utilities. See Enterprise Statistics file ES92S01.dbf for national counts of nonemployers in all sectors. (Counts of firms in the surveys of minority- and women-owned businesses and Characteristics of Business Owners do include nonemployers in their counts of "all firms".) Firms -- A firm is a business organization or entity consisting of one domestic establishment (location) or more under common ownership or control. All establishments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or controlling firm. For the economic censuses, the terms "firm" and "company" are synonymous. Auxiliary establishments -- Each company included in this census was asked to identify and report separately those auxiliary locations whose primary functions were to manage, administer, service, or support the activities of the other establishments of the company. Data presented in this report does not include auxiliary establishments. Data for auxiliaries which primarily service retail establishments are presented in a subsequent report issued as part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.  For manufactures, the data shown in this report are limited to those manufactured goods that are directly exported from the manufacturing establishment. These data may understate the actual exports when the actual export is made by an independent exporting firm or when the shipment is made from other company-operated warehouses or other distribution points. Export intensity reflects the ratio of export shipments to the total value of shipments for manufactures, and the value of export sales to total sales for wholesalers. This is the number of companies with employment (payroll) engaged in economic activity. In this survey, a company (firm) is a legal entity engaged in economic activity during any part of 1992 that filed an IRS form 1040, Schedule C; 1065; or some type of 1120. The different entities are described below under Legal Form of Organization. A firm may operate one place of business or more, such as a chain of restaurants, or have no fixed business location, such as the firm represented by a self-employed carpenter or salesperson. A firm contrasts with an establishment, which is a single physical location at which business is conducted. Most of the other economic censuses are conducted on an establishment, rather than a firm, basis. For the economic censuses, the terms "firm" and "company" are synonymous.  The term "All Firms" represents the total count of all sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations which were engaged in economic activity during any part of 1992. "All Firms" includes nonemployer, employer, minority, nonminority, women, and male-owned businesses. More detail is shown for firms with employment (payroll) engaged in economic activity. This survey includes the legal entities of individual proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations. ("C" corporations are excluded from this survey with the exception of the MB92CORP.DBF file.) In this survey, a firm is defined in one of three ways, either as: a) a filer of a 1992 IRS form 1040, Schedule C, "Profit or Loss From Business (Sole Proprietorship) or C-EZ, "Net Profit From a Business" (Sole Proprietorship). Examples of such a firm would include a business operated by a sole proprietor, an independent salesperson, an independent agent or commission worker, an independent contractor, or a statutory employer. b) a filer of a 1992 IRS Form 1065, "U.S. Partnership Return of Income". An example of such a firm would include a partnership, syndicate, group, pool, joint venture, or similar unincorporated business that was not a trust, estate, or sole proprietorship in 1992. c) a filer of a 1992 IRS Form 1120S, "U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation". An example of such a firm would include a corporation that elected to be an S corporation by filing Form 2553, "Election by a Small Business Corporation;" the IRS accepted the election; and the election remained in effect during 1992. A firm may operate one place of business or more, such as a chain of restaurants, or have no fixed business location, such as the firm represented by a self-employed carpenter or salesperson. A firm contrasts with an establishment, which is a single physical location at which business is conducted. Most of the other economic censuses are conducted on an establishment, rather than a firm, basis. For the economic censuses, the terms "firm" and "company" are synonymous.  This is the number of companies without paid employees (no annual payroll) engaged in economic activity.

Race and ethnic standards for federal statistics and administrative reporting are outlined in Directive 15 which supersedes section 7(h) and Exhibit F of OMB Circular No. A-46 dated May 3, 1974 and as revised May 12, 1977.  The term "Nonminority Male-Owned Businesses" represents the total firm count of all sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations (excluding C corps) which individually were owned by either a male sole proprietor or a male majority of partners or shareholders having non-Hispanic origins in any of the white racial groups of Europe.

For purposes of the 1992 Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO) survey, a business owner is defined one of three ways, either as: a) A filer of a 1992 IRS Form 1040, Schedule C, "Profit or Loss From Business" (Sole Proprietorship) or C-EZ, "Net Profit From a Business" (Sole Proprietorship). An example of such a person would include a sole proprietor, an independent salesperson, an independent agent or commission worker, an independent contractor, or a statutory employee. b) A recipient of a 1992 IRS Form 1065, Schedule K-1 "Partner's Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc." This would be a member in a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, group, pool, joint venture or similar unincorporated business that was not a trust, estate, or sole proprietorship in 1992. c) A recipient of a 1992 IRS Form 1120S, Schedule K-1 "Shareholder's Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc." This would be a shareholder in a corporation that elected to be an S corporation by filing Form 2553, "Election by a Small Business Corporation", the IRS accepted the election, and the election remained in effect during 1992.  For this survey the following sectors were used: All industries (sector ) Agricultural services, forestry, fishing and mining\* (sector 0) Construction Industries (sector 2) Manufacturing Industries (sector 3) Transportation, Communications and Utilities (sector 4) Wholesale Trade (sector 5) Retail Trade (Sector 6) Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (sector 7) Service industries (sector 8) Unclassified industries (sector 9) \* = Sectors 0 & 1 are used separately in complete industry (2-digit SIC level) data and include: Agricultural services, forestry, and fishing (sector 0) Mining Industries (sector 1).  VALUE is the sales and receipts of firms with paid employees engaged in economic activity. VALUEA is the sales and receipts of all firms, with or without paid employees engaged in economic activity. Sales and receipts include the gross value of all products sold, services rendered, or other receipts from customers during the year, less returns and allowances. Value for sales and services is given whether or not payment was actually received during the year, and therefore, does not indicate a cash flow. Although receipts data were supposed to cover calendar year 1992, fiscal year reporting was permitted if it did not produce great differences. No adjustments are made for the costs of doing business. Due to the nature of the banking, real estate, and insurance industries and educational and social services, receipts may not be a good indicator of financial worth or size.  The term "Women-Owned Businesses" represents the total firm count of all sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations (excluding C corps) which individually were owned by either a female sole proprietor or a female majority of partners or shareholders.
