What type of scale was used to measure socioeconomic status in the NCS?
In general, we use various types of SES: family and personal income, education, ratio of family income to official poverty standards for each family size (from the early 1990s), exogenous variables merged on from Census or PUMS data such as tract level average of median income, percent of tract living below poverty line, and average number of people employed in a geographic area of choice.
