Predicting age-specific log shares ever married and log shares currently married (per 1,000 age-specific population) with the number of tenant farms per total farms using county-level data disaggregated by racial group and age: Census data

Notes: The sample includes all southern counties that experienced the boll weevil infestation, excluding Oklahoma counties. Standard errors, clustered by county, are shown in parentheses. County covariates include male-to-female population ratios for ages 15–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, and 50+, calculated separately for each racial group, population density, and linear and quadratic time trends interacted with the 1889 cotton share of improved farm acres. The intercept is included but suppressed from the output. The sample size varies by group given that some age-by-race-by-county-by-year cells are empty. N range = 3,255–3,480 for white shares and 3,255–3,403 for black shares.
