Starting with 2007, the Census CD-ROM application (henceforth known as Census Windows Application), will be available free of charge via download. If downloading the 2008 Census Windows Application is not feasible (e.g. PC without Internet connectivity) or for previous years' CD-ROMs, refer to the CRA/HMDA data order form for availability, possible associated cost, and media type information. 

The FFIEC updates the Census Windows Application annually to reflect changes to MSA/MD boundaries announced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), income estimates developed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and include CRA distressed/underserved tracts as announced by the federal bank regulatory agencies. In addition to including a database that individuals can use to analyze the data, this software includes the ability to subset the data by state, MSA/MD, or county and then view, print, and/or export the data.

Without a high-speed internet connection, it may take several hours to download the Census Windows Application.

This product is another example of the FFIEC's efforts to provide the public with fast, easy, and inexpensive access to information.
