2018 SIPP: Metadata for Rental Properties and Other Real Estate

The originally published description, universe description, and universe for EJSOWNRE and EJSOWNRP were incorrect in the data dictionary files and SIPP Codebook. The originally published universe descriptions for TJSNET_BMED, TJSNET_BSTD, TJSNET_TMED, and TJSNET_TSTD were also incorrect.

 

EJSOWNRE

The correct metadata are as follows:

  • Description: Owned any other real estate jointly during the reference period [for respondents with a spouse or civil union partner in the household; this joint ownership question is asked of only one spouse or partner, and this response is copied to both spouses'/partners' records].
  • Universe Description: Owned any other real estate during the reference period and had a spouse in the household at the end of the reference period and at the time of interview or had a civil union partner in the household at the end of the reference period.
  • Universe: EOWN_RE= 1 and [(EMS_EHC = 1 for MONTHCODE = 12 and EMS = 1) or EREGDOMPART = 1 for MONTHCODE = 12]

Previously, the data dictionary and SIPP Codebook incorrectly listed the metadata as:

  • Description: Owned any other real estate jointly during the reference period [for respondents without a spouse in the household either at the end of the reference period or at the time of interview or without a civil union partner in the household at the end of the reference period].
  • Universe Description: Owned any other real estate during the reference period and did not have a spouse in the household either at the end of the reference period or at the time of interview and did not have a civil union partner in the household at the end of the reference period.

  • Universe Description: Owned any rental properties during the reference period and had a spouse in the household at the end of the reference period and at the time of interview or had a civil union partner in the household at the end of the reference period.
  • Universe: EOWN_RP = 1 and [(EMS_EHC = 1 for MONTHCODE = 12 and EMS = 1) or EREGDOMPART = 1 for MONTHCODE = 12]
