CENSUS OF POPULATION
1980 Census

These technical documentations were originally released along with the 1980 Census of Population and Housing data files on magnetic tape.

The Marketing Services Office has prepared this list as a service to customers who still need this documentation, but offers no further technical support for the data files themselves. Note too that documentation has not been revised, but is presented as originally issued at the time the appropriate file was released. Contact names and phone numbers may have changed.

For further information about the documentation or the availability of the files and other Census Bureau data products, contact the Customer Services Center of the Census Bureau's Marketing Services Office:
