- U.S. Census Data"Data.census.gov is the new platform to access demographic and economic data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The vision for data.census.gov is to improve the customer experience by making data available from one centralized place so that data users spend less time searching for data and content, and more time using it.
This transformation stems from overwhelming feedback to simplify the way customers get data. Since the platform is driven by the data users, we are building in an Agile process that allows customers to provide feedback on the site while we develop. This means that the site does not currently have all the features and data that will ultimately be included, but it allows the customers to drive the final product.
In the end, this platform will be the search that takes over census.gov to allow users a single place to seamlessly access data and digital content from the Census Bureau. Until then, access data.census.gov as the central hub for your data needs."
