The Triangle Census Research Data Center (TCRDC) is a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and Duke University in cooperation with the  The University of North Carolina System .  Under this partnership, the Census Bureau provides access to unpublished microdata from the Bureau's economic and demographic censuses and surveys via a secure computer laboratory located on the Duke Campus.  Confidential data from other government agencies may be accessed via the TCRDC as well; including data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

The TCRDC is one of nine sites in a network of Research Data Centers located around the U.S.  The TCRDC is the only such facility in the Southeast.

Faculty, students, and staff from Duke or any of the 16 universities in the UNC System may use the TCRDC free of cost for their Census approved research projects, making the TCRDC is a unique opportunity for researchers in the region.  Other researcher’s may use the TCRDC on a fee basis.
