microdata
Person-by-person statistics
Microdata refers to detailed data about individual units—people, households, businesses, transactions—rather than aggregated statistics.
Researchers work with microdata to analyze patterns that summary tables obscure: The census microdata showed migration trends by age and income.
In web development, microdata is a specification for embedding machine-readable information in HTML, helping search engines understand page content.
