New affiliation with the Atlanta Research Data Center offers USC researchers a wealth of demographic data

USC is now an affiliate member of the Atlanta Research Data Center, which is a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and a consortium of universities. Membership to the center provides USC faculty and students with access to restricted U.S. Census data. Among other benefits, this membership allows USC affiliates access to fine resolution data, otherwise unavailable complete datasets and additional variables, and longitudinal data to track individuals over time (e.g., to examine how policies at birth affect adult outcomes).
