The Massachusetts State Data Center Affiliate Program
The State Data Center Affiliate Program is an extension activity of the Massachusetts State Data Center. Through this program, the Data Center can expand its efforts to help the public access and use demographic and economic information from the Census Bureau. Affiliates are an important link between the State Data Center Program and the majority of individual data users.

The Massachusetts State Data Center Program currently has 46 affiliates throughout the state. These include regional planning agencies, libraries, state agencies, and business and economic development agencies. Affiliates provide data and services to their local communities making information more accessible to everyone.

There are two components of the Massachusetts State Data Center Affiliate Program. The State Data Center (SDC) affiliate and the Business-Industry Data Center (BIDC) affiliate. SDC affiliates are the backbone of our program providing assistance to their communities in locating and using census data. They offer a publicly accessible library of demographic and economic data, as well as providing referral services and products of their own. The BIDC program was designed to meet the growing need by public and private sector decision-makers for more extensive economic information. BIDC affiliates have the additional responsibility of identifying and developing new data uses and methods of assistance to their communities, especially to the business community and agencies that engage in economic development activities.
