Census Data Center

The Demography Program of the Graduate School of Public Health, in agreement with the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the Puerto Rico Planning Board, operates the Census Data Center. The Center's main objective is to disseminate census and health data to the University community and the general public. It has the largest census information collection on the island from 1910 to the present, and the Puerto Rico Vital Statistics Annual Report from 1960 to the present. Birth, death, and marriage survey tapes from the Department of Health, as well as tapes on labor force surveys by the Department of Labor are also available. Since its inception, the Center

has undertaken activities such as technical assistance in accessing and using data for research, encouraging the integration of census data and health statistics, publications, lectures, and workshops. The Center produces the demographic information on Puerto Rican women's health published in the W&H Center publications.
