Explore Census Data

Abstract

Explore Census Data is the US Census Bureau's intended starting point for discovery of the data it collects through the decennial census and various other programs. It strives to be as user-friendly as possible and accessible to novice researchers and the general public. The sheer variety of data sets, geographic scales, and variables resists the use of a simple Google-like interface and can be daunting to users without data experience. However, the quantity and quality of data available from the Census Bureau make spending some extra time or seeking assistance worthwhile.
