Federal Statistical Research Data Center - DSW: Home

What is a the Federal Statistical Research Data Center?

The DFW research data center allows approved researchers to access confidential microdata from the U.S. Census Bureau as well as other statistical agencies.

Researchers interested in performing statistical analysis using restricted-use Census Bureau microdata must first complete a project proposal. The proposal will be submitted to the Census Bureau and an extensive review process that evaluates the project’s benefit to the Census Bureau, scientific merit, need for non-public data, feasibility, and potential risk of disclosure will take place.

Data is only accessible in person at the offices of the FSRDC-DFW after the going through the Proposal process and the project had been approved.
