The ROAD Project contains two primary types of variables, electoral and census variables, and two levels of analysis, precinct-level and MCD-Group level . ROAD files can be used to analyze local, state, and national political phenomenon. This section contains two examples of how the different ROAD Project data files might be used to analyze substantive political issues. As should be obvious, these are illustrative and hardly exhaustive. We also describe a methodological issue to be aware of in analyzing these, and other, aggregate data.
