On the surface, the job of a statistical agency like the U.S. Census Bureau is deceptively simple: gather some data, compute interesting statistics from that data, and release them to the public. Of course, it’s not that simple.
The data you download from our website or API and the statistics you see cited in the media result from a complex set of interactions between people, software and systems.
At the Census Bureau, we refer to the software and systems we use to gather, process and disseminate data as our Business Ecosystem (BE). In this blog, I want to update you on how we’re evolving the BE to better measure our dynamic population and economy.
Read more about the Census Bureau's Business Ecosystem, its four major components, how we use it, and the road ahead.
