GENERAL NOTE:
In 1956-1964, the named community was coded according to its 
approximate population at the time R was growing up.  A community may 
thus have been coded for the study  into a size category different from 
the size description chosen by R in his/her answer.  "City" categories 
by population during these years were (in general): under 10,000;  
10,000-50,000; 100,000-250,000;  250,000+.  For the codes here, the 
250,000+ category was  placed into "large city", while lesser-
population cities were included in code 3.
In 1966-1976, R's own perception of size of community was used.
