Censuses and Surveys: They're How We Know

The Census Bureau has dedicated decades to collecting, processing and sharing the data collected from its many censuses and surveys. The questions have evolved over time to address our changing needs. Today, the Decennial Census, the Economic Census and the American Community Survey give Congress and community leaders the information they need to make informed decisions that shape our democracy. These statistics tell us how we know how our country is doing.
