Accessing Public Data
The Census Bureau is committed to open government by sharing its public data as open data. Census data continues to be a key national resource, serving as a fuel for entrepreneurship and innovation, scientific discovery, and commercial activity. We continuously identify and publish datasets and Application Programming Interface’s (API’s) to Data.gov in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-10-06, the Executive Order 13642 on open data, and the overall principles outlined in the Digital Government Strategy. In accordance with the Open Data Policy, M-13-13, the Census Bureau publishes its information in machine-readable formats while also safeguarding privacy and security.
