About the Site

ICPSR has created this Web site as a focus for all its 2000 Census activities. All data and documentation files will be available directly from the Data Files page. You will also find information on upcoming training opportunities and links to the Census Bureau and other relevant sites.

As more data is released, we plan further enhancements to facilitate searching and retrieval. We welcome suggestions from users about additional features to incorporate into this site.
