        In 1956-1964, R's response may have been that the community was a
        'large' or 'small' city or a town etc., but the named community
        was actually coded according to its approximate statistical
        population at the time R was growing up.  A community may thus have
        been coded by NES into a size category different from the size
        description chosen by R in his/her answer.  "City" categories by
        population were during these years (in general): <10,000;  10,000-
        50,000; 100,000-250,000;  250,000+.  For recoding into the codes
        listed  below, the 250,000+ category was placed into "large city",
        while the lesser population cities were included in code 3.

        In 1966-1976, R's own perception of size of community was used.

               1.  Farm, rural, 'country'
               2.  Town, 'small town'
               3.  City, not a large city
               4.  Large city
               5.  Other; mixture of communities; 'suburb'

               9.  DK; NA; no pre IW (1960)
