Decennial Census data is available in this format from 1970 to 2000, with additional packages of normalized data between years for temporal analysis. Data can be extracted in several file formats as well as in a summary reports. Multiple layers of data may be mapped quickly within the program itself, or exported into ArcView shapefile or MapInfo format.
