This is the release of the US Census Bureau's Disclosure Avoidance System that was used to generate the 2010 Demonstration Data Products released by the US Census Bureau on October 29, 2019.
This release contains the actual code that was used to transform the Census Edited File (CEF) that was used in the 2010 Census into a Microdata Detail File (MDF) that was then used to create the demonstration DHC-P and DHC-H files that were then shared with stakeholders.
Also included in this release are two documents:
- 2010 DEMONSTRATION DATA PRODUCTS DISCLOSURE AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DESIGN SPECIFICATION v1.4.1
- Census TopDown Algorithm: Differentially Private Data, Incremental Schemas, and Consistency with Public Knowledge
We thank you for taking the time to review this demonstration release of the US Census Bureau's Disclosure Avoidance System. We appreciate any feedback you would like to provide us; please post any questions that you may have in the GitHub issues section.
