Here at the U.S. Census Bureau, we have a long history of innovation. We?re committed to reflecting an accurate portrait of our nation, and our success depends on delivering statistics that address the needs of all our data users.
Meeting our nation?s information needs through developing statistical products is an enormous task, requiring continual modernization. In the modern digital era, massive amounts of data are generated as we go about our daily lives. There are many new data sources and data science advances. There?s also an increased demand for information?data users across the nation want more timely, accurate, granular, and customizable information about our people, places, and the economy than ever before.
Through past listening sessions with data users, we know there are many topics that can?t be studied by single surveys, censuses, or data sources alone. These topics include things like climate extremes, broadband deployment, the gig economy?and, notably, tribal areas.
That?s why I?m so excited to announce the Census Bureau plans to engage American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) stakeholders on the design of new experimental statistical products.
