STR 645: Overview of CSPro

The Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) is a software package for entering, editing, tabulating, and disseminating data from censuses and surveys. It was developed jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau, Macro International, and Serpro, SA, with major funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

CSPro is available at no cost and may be freely distributed. It can be downloaded at www.census.gov/ipc/www/cspro

I prepared an Overview of CSPro that may be used by CSPro lecturers. The powerpoint file is available HERE.
