Every year the Council responds to requests for specialized and general data from individuals, developers, real estate firms, banks, and state and local governments. During this past year, the Council answered requests for data on population, housing, labor force, and the economy, as well as other related requests. Many of the requests were for census information which is now available on compact disks and on the Internet. (www.census.gov)
