The RMRDC allows statistical analysis of economic, business, population, education and health data collected internally and confidentially by federal statistical agencies. These data are NOT otherwise available for public use. It is a physical laboratory located at CU Boulder, set up according to the guidelines of the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure the data are protected and used only in ways that minimize the risks of unlawful disclosures.
Economic and Business Data: Censuses and surveys of business establishments and firms. Linked Business and Household Data combine federal and state administrative data on employers and employees with core Census Bureau censuses and surveys.
