tHe rdc network
continues to grow
The RDC network continues to
expand over multiple dimensions,
enhancing the benefit
of the network to the Census
Bureau. In 2010 and 2011,
the RDC network expanded
in terms of locations, projects
hosted, research completed,
and datasets made available to
researchers.
In October 2010, the Triangle
Census RDC expanded beyond
its original location at Duke
University with a second location
at RTI International in
Research Triangle Park, NC. In
September 2011, the Atlanta
Census RDC opened its location
at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta. Further expansion
is expected in 2012 with
the Northwest Census RDC
in Seattle, WA, and the Texas
Census RDC in College
Station, TX.
In 2010 and 2011, 39 new RDC
projects began. Of those, 17 use
Census Bureau microdata (see
Appendix 3-A), while 6 use data
from the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, and
Census Bureau Director Bob Groves speaks at the opening of the
Atlanta Census RDC on September 26, 2011.
