“Data.census.gov is the new platform to access data and digital content from the U.S. Census Bureau. The vision for data dissemination through data.census.gov is to improve the customer experience by making data available from one centralized place so that data users spend less time searching for data content and more time using it.” (U.S. Census Bureau Website)

On February 11, COG is hosting a 2-hr. training opportunity for the new data.census.gov platform aimed at data users at MPOs, States, and Local Jurisdictions. The U.S. Census Bureau staff will provide the training. It is designed for anyone who works with Census demographic data. The current American FactFinder Census Platform will no longer host any future data releases including the recent 2018 American Community Survey. The American FactFinder platform is planned to be discontinued in March 2020.
