Administrative Data Metadata
The Census Bureau uses information from many sources to produce statistics, obtained through data use agreements with federal and state agencies. We have extracted variable lists from the agreements so you can see the specific data elements that were shared with Census. The index shows a list of data sharing agreements, and we have added links about the sources and programs whose data they contain. These data element details can improve your research designs as well as increase the specificity of your proposals. See their Data Linkage Infrastructure site for more information.
