PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM THE 1980 CENSUS
The results of the 1980 Census of Population and Housing, which emphasized data for local areas and the involvement of users in defining tabulation areas and disseminating data products, was released through 3 major media: printed reports, computer tapes, and microfiche. The printed reports consist of 3 groups: population census, housing census, and joint population and housing census. These are further classified geographically into a series of area reports, one for each state and another for each metropolitan area. These reports are described further and the subject items included in the 1980 census are tabulated. A series of machine-readable summary data files parallels the release of the printed reports. These files often contain more detail than the printed reports. Data files are also released that contain instead of summary data, disaggregated individual person and household records. Summary data, microdata, and software to assist users in accessing and using machine-readable data are described. Special microfiches are available that provide useful data for enumerating districts and block groups from STFs 1 and 3. Two programs highlight the 1980 data program's emphasis on local involvement in specifying tabulation areas and in disseminating data products: the Neighborhood Statistics Program, and the State Data Center Program.
