5 - missing or incorrect data

If you wish, these problems may be reported to the producers of the particular CD you are using.

5.1 - Some known errors occurred in the production of some CDs.
Non-reproducible system problems can occur.
Use printed data sources.

5.2 Data for Puerto Rico (PR) are unavailable in LOOKUP, and incorrect in the U.S. Gazetteer.
The Census questionnaire used in PR was different from that used in the United States (eg. no race, different marital status, etc.) Hence the data layout on the PR CD-ROM is non-standard. The retrieval software has not been modified to accommodate the PR record format.
To reduce confusion, PR has been removed from the list of states available in LOOKUP. However, PR "counties" and "places" are still accessible through the U.S. Gazetteer; STF1A and STF3A data obtained for those areas will be incorrect.
