title: U.S. census data uses.
abstract: "This article examines the principal applications of the statistics yielded by the 1990 U.S. Census of Population and Housing.  Before doing so, however, a framework of census policy and operational features that directly influenced the content of the questionnaires will be outlined.... Having established this background, the uses of census data will be addressed, citing case examples in some instances, for...major groups of data users."
