Details
See CENSUS for variable descriptions (this data is nearly identical). The goal is to predict ResponseRate from the other predictors. ResponseRate is the percentage of households in a block group that mailed in the census forms. A block group is on average about 40 blocks, each typically bounded by streets, roads, or water. The number of block groups per county in the US is typically between about 5 and 165 with a median of about 20.
