UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Table - Census Subdivision (CSD) - 1996 - Wide Format (DBF) (Version 2023-03)

UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Tables contain Census data that have been reformatted into a common table format with standardized variable names and codes. The data are provided in two tabular formats for different use cases. "Long" tables are suitable for use in statistical environments, while "wide" tables are commonly used in GIS environments. The long tables are provided in Stata Binary (dta) format, which is readable by all statistics software. The wide tables are provided in comma-separated values (csv) and dBase 3 (dbf) formats with codebooks. The wide tables are easily joined to the UNI-CEN Digital Boundary Files. For the csv files, a .csvt file is provided to ensure that column data formats are correctly formatted when importing into QGIS. A schema.ini file does the same when importing into ArcGIS environments. As the DBF file format supports a maximum of 250 columns, tables with a larger number of variables are divided into multiple DBF files.

UNI-CEN标准化普查数据表（UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Tables）收录经过统一格式化处理的普查数据，所有数据均被整合为通用表格框架，并采用标准化的变量名称与编码规则。
本数据集针对不同应用场景提供两类表格格式：「长格式」表格适配统计分析环境，而「宽格式」表格则多用于地理信息系统（GIS）场景。
长格式表格采用Stata二进制（dta）格式存储，可被所有主流统计软件读取。
宽格式表格附带代码簿，以逗号分隔值（csv）和dBase 3（dbf）两种格式发布。宽格式表格可与UNI-CEN数字边界文件实现便捷关联。
针对csv格式文件，配套提供.csvt文件，以确保在导入QGIS时列数据格式能够被正确识别；而在导入ArcGIS环境时，则可通过schema.ini文件实现相同的格式适配效果。
由于DBF文件格式最大仅支持250列，当变量数量超出该阈值时，相关数据表将被拆分为多个DBF文件。
