TABIES 



The tables showing the percentage 

 distribution of the responses to each of 

 the questions pertinent to this report are 

 included in the next section. A weighted 

 base vas employed for the computation of 

 each percentage distribution. This base 

 is shovn at the bottom of each table 

 column . Weighting the actued. number of 

 interviews completed in each city was 

 necessary since a smsLLl number of the 

 sampling units were subsampled to avoid 

 &n excessive nvmiber of interviews in any 

 one interviewing assignment. IMs proce- 

 dure was necessary in those sample area 

 segments which had grown considerably 

 in nunber of households since 1950. In 

 addition, the total Detroit area was 

 divided into zones which were either 

 predominately white or Negro with the 

 former sampled at one -half the rate of the 



latter zone; weighting was employed to 

 restore the proportionableness of the race 

 distribution in this city. 



No weighting was attempted for house- 

 holds selected for the sample but not 

 interviewed (refusals, vinable to contact, 

 etc.). The actual number of completed 

 interviews and the weighted base for the 

 toted, respondent population in each city 

 are shown below.
