PIEDMONT HEALTH SURVEY OF THE ELDERLY
This is based on a longitudinal study of a random, stratified, household sample of 4,162 persons aged 65 and older in five north central counties in North Carolina. Seven yearly waves of data have been collected and a ten-year follow-up was concluded in 1997. The data set includes information on social and economic resources, mental and physical health, functional ability, and use of health services. Blood pressures were measured during the four in-person interviews, glucose and protein in the urine were measured in the baseline and second in-person interviews, and blood was drawn at the time of the 1992-1993 interviews. The size and distribution of the sample permits racial and rural comparisons.

CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY
The federal Bureau of the Census conducts a monthly survey of the nation for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This survey provides the basis for monthly unemployment rates and includes approximately 60,000 households nationwide. Each March a detailed income supplement is added to the basic questions on unemployment and the March current population survey together with the income supplement is called the Annual Demographic File. Detailed information is available on amounts and sources of income in the household along with detailed demographic information. In addition some files include insurance coverage, participation in selected social service programs and migration information.
The file is intended as a source for estimates at the national level. While many of the items are similar to the decennial census questions, this survey covers a more restricted universe. The non-institutional civilian population and many concepts are defined differently. It should not be used to estimate change using the decennial census as a base. The Bureau of the Census publishes a very limited amount of state or sub state level estimates from the file, however, the state and metropolitan area can be identified on the individual records. Approximately 1,200 households in North Carolina are in the sample, and estimates can be developed at the state level for the population as a whole for very large sub-groups. Caution must be used since relatively large sampling errors may be involved, and cross-tabulation must be limited to ensure adequate cell sizes.

DECENNIAL CENSUS-PUBLIC USE MICRODATA
In addition to the summary data from the decennial census, there is also a file on "microdata." A one percent and five percent sample of actual census questionnaires (stripped of any confidential information) is provided to each state. These microdata files allow individuals to create customized tabulations for any age group or cross tabulation of interests. For example, a user might be interested in identifying the average income of persons 60 and over who did not live in North Carolina five years previous to the census and who were not in the labor force at the time of the census. This kind of custom tabulation is possible with these microdata files. The results can be weighted to estimates for the population of the state or the area of interest. The files can be used to develop estimates for the state as a whole, larger counties and cities and in general to develop estimates for the 17 planning regions and metropolitan statistical area. Most non-metropolitan counties are too small to develop individual estimates.

WESTERN NC RETIREMENT MIGRANTS
Purpose: The Appalachian Regional Commission funded a study to determine whether retirement in migrants in eight western North Carolina counties were beneficial or a burden to their counties’ local economies. These counties are Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Polk, Transylvania and Watauga.

Survey method: A two-stage survey of retirees (814) who have moved to western North Carolina upon retirement was conducted in the Fall of 1989. The first stage of the data collection was a telephone interview. The second part of the survey requested respondents to keep a detailed log book of their expenditures for one week.

Key points/results: Retirement migrants make a substantial contribution to local economic development. An influx of retirees infuses dollars into retail, construction, financial institutions, the health care field and local governments. No evidence was found of a negative impact on the host community by these older adults.
