Details

Source: Census:VIUS:2006 . The data were downloaded from
https://www.census.gov/svsd/www/vius in May, 2006. The website from which the data were downloaded no longer exists, and online information about VIUS may now be found at
https://www.bts.gov/vius, which provides a link to the archived 2002 data. The missing value of state for records with adm_state = 42 was recoded to "PA", the state that has code 42. This data set has 98,682 records, which may be too large for some software packages to handle; the file viusca is a smaller data set, with the same columns described below, containing only vehicles from California. The variable descriptions below are taken from the VIUS Data Dictionary. Missing values are coded as NA. For some variables, the value is missing because the question is not applicable or the vehicle is not in use; see the individual variable descriptions. Note that a new VIUS is planned for 2022, with data to be released in 2023; see https://www.bts.gov/vius.
