• Use the Print/Download feature on the top right of Results pages. • Some formats are zipped and you will need unzipping software to open them. • Click Help, then click the Table of Contents tab and locate the help for downloading tables and maps. • You may also want to consider using the FTP option at the top of the Data Sets page if you need large amounts of Census data. We advise, though, that you make certain to read the READ ME file before attempting to use this part of the site as no software is included and the data can be overwhelming for those not familiar with FTP formats. • Another option for getting large amounts of data at once is to contact the Census Bureau Customer Services Office at 301-763-INFO (4636) and ask about purchasing a CD-ROM containing the data you require. CDs put all the data at your fingertips and keep you from being dependent on web connections while working.
