This year alone, the Census Bureau conducted more than 100 surveys and released more than 400 economic reports. It also created and improved data tools, made interactive data visualizations, shared numerous Newsroom products, and wrote many stories.

Some of the highlights include:

  • 2017 Economic Census — This once-every-five-year look at our economy measures the impact of nearly 4 million businesses.
  • 2020 Census "Shape your future. START HERE." —  Communications campaign for the 2020 Census.
  • America Counts: Stories Behind the Numbers — Our new content platform, launched in September 2017, is on track to publish 100 stories this year.
  • Data.census.gov — In July, we launched this new data platform to replace American FactFinder. It will be the primary way to access Census Bureau data.
  • Statistics in Schools — This program offers K-12 educators free online activities, games and other resources to help them bring statistics into their classroom.
