Ethnicity
The data was preprocessed to assign individuals who reported more than one gender as being of 'mixed' race. The variable 'ethnicity' is a interger categorization for fast sorting, and the label are provided in the variable 'ethnicitylabels'.
+------------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | ethnicitylabels | Count | Percentage | AvgSent | TotalSent | AvgRecd | TotalRecd | +------------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | mixed | 105456 | 0.0584 | 4.0894 | 45674 | 2.8836 | 43540 | | white | 917178 | 0.5081 | 3.7588 | 332784 | 2.6029 | 327063 | | black | 53884 | 0.0299 | 4.2456 | 18498 | 2.4855 | 13101 | | hispanic_latin | 61034 | 0.0338 | 4.2292 | 25278 | 2.9754 | 23348 | | asian | 54645 | 0.0303 | 3.7712 | 16612 | 2.6209 | 17222 | | indian | 11658 | 0.0065 | 4.6518 | 4996 | 2.2567 | 2796 | | middle_eastern | 5916 | 0.0033 | 6.0000 | 3282 | 2.9282 | 1918 | | native_american | 4056 | 0.0022 | 5.0511 | 1682 | 3.0157 | 1345 | | pacific_islander | 3238 | 0.0018 | 3.6478 | 1098 | 2.9398 | 1173 | | other | 24761 | 0.0137 | 4.3936 | 11454 | 2.9021 | 9664 | | none | 563167 | 0.3120 | 3.9094 | 53230 | 2.1889 | 48969 | +------------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+
The distribution for the reported number of ethnicities (with >1 assigned to mixed) is:
+-----------------+----------+ | num_ethnicities | COUNT(*) | +-----------------+----------+ | 1 | 1699537 | | 2 | 83676 | | 3 | 14781 | | 4 | 3348 | | 5 | 976 | | 6 | 330 | | 7 | 243 | | 8 | 409 | | 9 | 1693 | +-----------------+----------+
Location
Zip3 was provided in the data, but I was cautioned that the third number was not meaningul (i.e. added randomly for obscurification). Zip2 and Zip1 (the later is reported below) are coded as variables.
See:
- The Wikipedia Zip Code page for a map of Zip codes
- List of Zip Code Prefixes
+------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | zip1 | Count | Percentage | AvgSent | TotalSent | AvgRecd | TotalRecd | +------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | 0 | 178253 | 0.0988 | 3.8582 | 55219 | 2.5989 | 52293 | | 1 | 229719 | 0.1273 | 4.4691 | 84690 | 2.6089 | 73503 | | 2 | 136538 | 0.0756 | 3.7811 | 38575 | 2.5554 | 37794 | | 3 | 148748 | 0.0824 | 3.8744 | 41979 | 2.6477 | 40292 | | 4 | 126115 | 0.0699 | 3.6275 | 33953 | 2.5882 | 33064 | | 5 | 66067 | 0.0366 | 3.3721 | 15643 | 2.3133 | 15157 | | 6 | 105097 | 0.0582 | 3.6479 | 29650 | 2.5607 | 29468 | | 7 | 126851 | 0.0703 | 4.0350 | 38615 | 2.8075 | 37758 | | 8 | 84204 | 0.0467 | 3.7276 | 23875 | 2.6178 | 23128 | | 9 | 322186 | 0.1785 | 3.8279 | 103851 | 2.7357 | 103539 | | 99 | 281215 | 0.1558 | 3.6252 | 48538 | 2.2509 | 44143 | +------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+
Age
The age ranges were created arbitrarily - though they have worked out reasonable well. Further refinement is possible. The variable 'age_rnum' is a integer categorization, and 'age_range' provides the variable. Ages were calculated using 'birth_year' using 2010 as the reference point.
+-----------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | age_range | Count | Percentage | AvgSent | TotalSent | AvgRecd | TotalRecd | +-----------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | 15-19 | 97659 | 0.0541 | 4.8070 | 30385 | 3.5139 | 35708 | | 20-24 | 485028 | 0.2687 | 3.9309 | 146882 | 2.8494 | 159322 | | 25-29 | 475376 | 0.2634 | 3.5992 | 131205 | 2.4778 | 128834 | | 30-34 | 274281 | 0.1520 | 4.4587 | 89759 | 2.4158 | 66236 | | 35-39 | 155925 | 0.0864 | 3.7430 | 42681 | 2.3843 | 36490 | | 40-44 | 109121 | 0.0605 | 3.5817 | 27776 | 2.4255 | 24939 | | 45-49 | 78618 | 0.0436 | 3.6452 | 19225 | 2.2995 | 16338 | | 50-59 | 95810 | 0.0531 | 3.3421 | 21055 | 2.1347 | 17831 | | >60 | 33175 | 0.0184 | 2.9332 | 5620 | 1.8930 | 4441 | +-----------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+
Birth year is self-reported almost surely wrongly so in some case. It ranges from 1900 to 1995.
Account Age
The account age range variables, 'acc_age_rnum' for the interger categorization and 'acc_age_range' for the labels, were created arbitrarily. These could easily be refined, but were created to examine differences in messaging and viewing activitiy - and to provide a normalization base. The oldest account is 2,613 days. The youngest is 0 days.
+---------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | acc_age_range | Count | Percentage | | | | | +---------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+ | 0 | 1385 | 0.0008 | | | | | | 1 | 7914 | 0.0044 | | | | | | 2 | 7967 | 0.0044 | | | | | | 3 | 9051 | 0.0050 | | | | | | 4 | 9134 | 0.0051 | | | | | | 5 | 10032 | 0.0056 | | | | | | 6-10 | 35862 | 0.0199 | | | | | | 11-15 | 39986 | 0.0222 | | | | | | 16-30 | 136983 | 0.0759 | | | | | | 31-60 | 233560 | 0.1294 | | | | | | 61-100 | 237369 | 0.1315 | 5.2286 | 142694 | 3.5119 | 144483 | | 101-365 | 535715 | 0.2968 | 3.5052 | 220052 | 2.4617 | 220381 | | 366-3650 | 540035 | 0.2992 | 3.5435 | 151842 | 2.1519 | 125275 | +---------------+--------+------------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+
Other variables
Quit times range from:
- 2008-07-19 (youngest)
- 2010-12-17 (oldest)
Deleted or blacklisted accounts:
+------------------------+----------+ | deleted_or_blacklisted | Count | +------------------------+----------+ | 0 | 1519319 | | 1 | 285674 | +------------------------+----------+
Outstanding Data Issues
- The variables 'num_essays' and 'profile_length' need fixing
