State Data Center at MISER
The State Data Center Program was established in 1978 by the U.S. Census Bureau to make statistical information more readily available to the public. The program now includes most states in the U.S., the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The Census Bureau provides data products, training, technical assistance, and consultation to data centers, which then offer products and assistance to local community leaders, planners, businesses, researchers, and the general public.

In Massachusetts, the State Data Center function is carried out by the Massachusetts Institute for Social and Economic Research (MISER) at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The State Data Center has an extensive collection of census data on population, housing, education, business, manufacturing, trade, services, government, and agriculture in Massachusetts, New England, and the United States. This data is available in machine readable format and in print in our library. We also have free data you can download from our web site.
