Census Bureau Data

The Census Bureau Data platform, data.census.gov, serves as the official hub for learning about America’s People, Places, and Economy. It provides an intuitive interface for users to explore, customize, and download a vast array of Census data, including tables, maps, charts, profiles, and microdata. Users can leverage the search functionality to find specific information, such as poverty data for Georgia in 2017.

The platform also enables users to build customized maps from any variable within the data tables, simply by selecting desired geographies. Additionally, comprehensive data profiles are available for over 100,000 different geographies, including states, counties, places, tribal areas, zip codes, and congressional districts, covering topics like education, employment, health, and housing.

To assist users, the platform provides various help resources, FAQs, quick start guides, and release information. Instructional videos are also available, covering topics such as navigating the modern design refresh, getting started with searches, and creating maps from scratch using the platform's tools.
