AUGUST 28, 2024 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate completion of the new Puerto Rico Federal Statistical Research Data Center (PR FSRDC). The center will soon provide local researchers secure access to federal data for advanced statistical research and analysis.
Access to FSRDC data will enhance the statistical capacity on the island and enable local officials, industry leaders and third sector to make more informed, timely data-driven decisions. It will also allow local academics to address previously unanswerable research questions.
The PR FSRDC joins 33 other federal statistical research data centers in the continental United States and is the first location to open in a U.S. territory. These centers provide qualified researchers on approved projects a secure space to analyze restricted data collected by the Census Bureau and other partner federal agencies.
Research conducted in these centers is vital to boosting our understanding of the population and economy of the United States and its territories.
The PR FSRDC is expected to officially open later this year.
