title: Data dissemination for the population census.
abstract: "Recent developments in the data-dissemination system for census of population statistics are reviewed, with particular reference to Great Britain.  Key issues discussed include:  the expansion of census output and the need for summaries of census results; the significance of consultation with census users; the development and functions of guides for census users; the emergence of data-dissemination centres and archives offering new services; the functions of area typologies as a new type of census by-product; the demand for Public Use Samples and the problem of confidentiality; and the emergence of large-scale surveys as alternatives to the census."
