SSDL American FactFinder FAQ and Guide
American FactFinder is the Census Bureau's primary vehicle for the dissemination of Census 2000 data and maps on the Internet. American FactFinder makes it possible to get demographic data about geographic areas as small as neighborhoods or even block level. Our new FAQ and guide to FactFinder introduces you to the site and helps you get started locating your own data!
International Data from the UN
The SSDL now subscribes to the United Nations Common Database (UNCDB). The UNCDB provides selected series from 30 specialized international data sources for all available countries and areas. These sources include UN organizations such as UNICEF and other international organizations such as the ILO, WHO, IMF, OECD and others. To access the UN proprietary data, please make an appointment at the SSDL.
Health Service Utilization Typology
New variables have been added to the Community Health Database that characterize survey respondents according to health service utilization patterns.
Community Health Data Base
In December, Temple University joined the Philadelphia Health Management Corporation's (PHMC) Community Health Data Base, giving faculty, students, and staff access to PHMC's biannual Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Survey and geographically-related vital statistics, home mortgage, property, and tax data. The survey includes information about the health status, personal health behaviors, access to and utilization of area health services, and other issues for some 13,000 residents in the five county Pennsylvania side of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. Geographically-related data are available at the census tract, zip code, county, and regional level. SSDL has the data for 1998, 2000, and 2002.
