Business and Industry Data Center: The Business and Industry Data Center (BIDC) program is an ongoing initiative of the U.S. Census Bureau to make economic data and statistics more widely available at the state and local levels. The Texas Department of Economic Development (TDED) participates in this program through agreements with the U.S. Census Bureau and the State Data Center at Texas A&M. TDED’s participation in the BIDC program provides the most cost effective way to deliver the economic research and data services required under Texas Government Code 481.211-212, as state participation in the Census Bureau’s program requires no direct outlay of state funds.
