Finding census data is not hard -- the trick is to find data that is relevant to your research. The best way to accomplish this task is to be sure to read all instructions, scope notes, and guidelines that accompany the tables and datasets you consult so you will know how best to read and interpret the data. Definitions and terms can change from census to census -- it is important to know and understand what you are looking at before you can make connections and draw conclusions from comparing data.
