We have refreshed census.gov to increase your readability, accessibility and engagement with content and statistics on America’s people, places and economy.

We conducted extensive customer research and usability testing to identify ways to improve the digital experience and enhance how users find statistics for research, projects and business needs. The Census Bureau has boosted overall site performance and mobile functionality along with updating the visual design. 

As part of our refresh effort, we have streamlined the website’s navigation in response to customer feedback and usability testing. This includes two major updates:

• The website’s main navigation (running horizontally across the top of the page) is now simplified to the following categories: Topics, Data & Maps, Surveys & Programs, and Resource Library. 

• The website now also features audience-based navigation with options for Partners, Researchers, Educators, and Survey Respondents the ability to jump into relevant content across census.gov.

The refreshed census.gov website debuted September 17, 2022. We plan to continue to improve the site based on additional testing and feedback from web visitors and stakeholders.
