The California Census Research Data Center (CCRDC) Berkeley is
one of nine Research Data Centers (RDCs) established by the Center for
Economic Studies (CES) of the U.S. Bureau of the Census in order to provide
secure physical locations for researchers to use non-public microdata
collected by the Census Bureau. These microdata files contain data that
cannot be released publicly because they contain detailed information on
geographic location and/or other characteristics about the firms or
households that could disclose their identities. These non-public microdata
collections include demographic and economic data collected by the Census
Bureau as well as restricted-use data from the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
