U.S. Census Bureau

The Census Bureau's mission is to serve as the nation's leading provider of quality data about its people and economy. The Census Bureau operates under Title 13 and Title 26 of the U.S. Code. Our goal is to provide the best mix of timeliness, relevancy, quality and cost for the data we collect and services we provide.

The Census Bureau provides resources to help ensure partners and stakeholders have the tools they need to effectively engage their communities. Every ten years, the U.S. Census Bureau is responsible for conducting the nationwide census.
