The State Data Center (SDC) Program is a cooperative program between the states and the Census Bureau that was created in 1978 to make data available locally to the public through a network of state agencies, universities, libraries, and regional and local governments. The program's mission is to provide easy and efficient access to U.S. Census Bureau data and information. To accomplish this mission, the SDCs work in partnership with the Census Bureau through the Customer Liaison and Marketing Services Office (CLMSO) and the Regional Offices of the Census Bureau. A Memorandum of Understanding between each state and the Census Bureau supports this partnership.
