ABSTRACT: The Minnesota Population Center is one of the world's leading developers of demographic data resources. The MPC is home of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series databases—IPUMS-USA, IPUMS-International, and IPUMS-CPS—which together comprise the world's largest collection of publicly available individual-level census data. Other MPC projects provide data from the National Health Interview Survey, the American Time Use Survey, as well as all aggregate data and GIS boundary files from the U.S Census. This presentation will describe the contents of the data available at the MPC, explain how the datasets were created and integrated, and demonstrate how they can be obtained free of charge through the web-based extraction system. The presentation will also highlight major strengths and limitations of the IPUMS for demographic research.
