Hundreds of census profiles compiled by the State Data Center (SDC) in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s are full-text searchable as part of the North Carolina Census Data project. The profiles themselves were originally developed by the SDC from datasets provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. They contain county and state statistics and hand-colored maps related to labor, population, housing, and economic conditions. To browse any of the profiles by county, click on the profile name below, or search the collection by county, date, or keyword by selecting the search tab at the top of the page.
Looking for more recent profiles? The 1990s and 2000s NC census profiles are available from the SDC’s website. Or go directly to LINC, a database of over 1300 data items from state and federal agencies, including historical data and projections (1960s to 2030), state, county, municipality, township, tract, block group, and block coverage, customized report capabilities, and preformatted topic reports.
