For "power users" interested in SPSS and SAS code to work with these databases, visit the State Data Centers web site at: http://www.sdcbidc.iupui.edu/Profiles/SF3/sf3.html The 77 files that comprise each state's set of SF3 files is fairly intimidating, so I would recommend becoming friendly with American FactFinder when your state's data becomes available.
