<p style="line-height:1.5;padding-left:15px">A new <a href="https://census.icpsr.umich.edu/census/" target="_blank">U.S. Census Bureau Data Repository</a> has been launched to preserve and disseminate survey instruments, specifications, data dictionaries, codebooks, and other materials provided by the Census Bureau. This repository helps fulfill key recommendations made by the 2017 "Report of the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking." Specifically, the repository improves transparency by establishing a "searchable inventory, through which the public can learn about the data that government collects."
