- I am trying to assemble a group of people who are interested in getting
- the Public Use Microdata Sample of the Census of Population and Housing
- as soon as it becomes available. Those of us at research institutions
- can generally get this for only the cost of the media through ICPSR, but
- only after what can be a long delay.
-
- The census bureau will sell the 5% Sample for US $4,000. I would like to
- find 9 people who will chip in $400 each plus the cost of the physical
- media. I will then copy the data to either high density mag. tape or
- DAT, according to your preference.
-
- This offer is, of course, contingent on finding the requisite number of
- people.
-
- Please e-mail me at jonat@cicero.spc.uchicago if you are interested.
- According to the bureau, the data will be released by the end of the year.
