New Data Dissemination Platform

The Census Bureau has streamlined online data dissemination to be more customer-driven and user-friendly through data.census.gov. The site culminates years of efforts by the Center for Enterprise Dissemination Services and Consumer Innovation (CEDSCI) to create a single, enterprise-level data storage point for all Census Bureau data.

To help ensure a smooth transition to the new platform, CEDSCI will hold multiple webinars, and trainings. During the upcoming webinars, attendees will learn how to access tables, maps and profiles on data.census.gov.

To find out more about the new data dissemination platform, visit the data.census.gov resources page.
