The Nevada State Data Center (SDC) program was established in 1982 as a service of the Nevada State Library, Archives & Public Records. The SDC provides training and technical assistance in accessing and using Census Bureau data for the planning, decision-making, administration and research needs of Nevada's state and local governments, businesses, researchers, and others.
The SDC serves as the coordinating agency for 21 state affiliates. This network consists of state and local government agencies who produce primary data on the Nevada economy, regional and local organizations, libraries, and universities.
The SDC is a cooperative effort with the U.S. Census Bureau.
