State Data Files RY 01

The data contained in each of the files are tab delimited (a tab is placed between each data element). The files all have the *.txt extension, but can be opened with most spreadsheet programs or PC-based database applications. (The National file is too large to be read into a spreadsheet. You must use a database program or some other method.)
