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.

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.

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.
