The data were gathered from 2,422 individuals in households with one or more Jewish individuals via a telephone interview survey. It is estimated in the published report that there are 222,847 people (of whom about 207,847 are Jews) living in 90,666 Jewish households. The sampling universe included Jewish households located in San Francisco, Sonoma, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties. The sampling procedure was a combination of names from a Federation list, random digit dialing, and a list of distinctive Jewish names from the telephone book.
