I am studying the impact of district level variables on congressional
decisionmaking in foreign policy. Part of this project is an analysis
of the impact that various ethnic constituency groups have on member
voting behavior. However, data aggregated at the congressional district
level for some of these groups is particularly difficult to find. The
COngressional District Data Books based on the 1970 and 80 censuses
(censi?) and the '72 and '82 redistricting offer some of the data,
European ancestry of various types, African ancestry, and Hispanic
ancestry. However detailed data for Asian Americans -especially
Fillipinos, Koreans, Chinese, Indians, and South East Asians does
not seem to be available. The census has rectified this in the 1990
census of population CD-Rom. However I am still looking for data
on these Asian ethnic groups, and Cuban Americans as well. Some of it
can be pieced togethr from available data on COunties, but in cases like
Los Angeles County, which covers more than a dozen districts this is
has so far been a futile effort. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed Muir
