Learn about the latest system updates, data releases, and educational opportunities for data.census.gov.
Feedback is at the core of all improvements to data.census.gov. It keeps our fingers on the pulse of data users? needs and expectations. Feedback is critical to how the site evolves and continues to be key to improvements made to our data platform. Like other data platforms you may have heard of, data.census.gov uses the Agile Process to inform future development choices. The Agile Development cycle begins and ends with user feedback.?
Just as with other changes to data.census.gov, the recent updates from the modern design refresh in June were tested,?and we collected feedback from a variety of sources prior to the release.?
As we collect feedback, we find issues to prioritize. Then, we share this information with the developers. The issues are then addressed by the developers and tested, before being released to the public. Feedback is once again collected, and the cycle continues.
As you continue to use data.census.gov and explore the new look-and-feel, please provide us with any comments that you have such as, does the new design help you navigate through data.census.gov in an easier, more intuitive manner? Are the changes to the site going in the right direction??All feedback can be emailed to at?[email protected].?We look forward to hearing from you!?
