Census Advisory Committees (CAC)

African American Advisory Committee

The Census Advisory Committee on the African American Population is essential to the public interest and the Census Bureau’s commitment and responsibility to conduct an accurate count of the national enumeration of the U.S. population. The Committee is needed to advise the U.S. Census Bureau on ways to reduce the differential undercount of hard-to-enumerate populations within the African American community.

Presently, the African American Committee is facilitating the Census Bureau’s outreach to the African American population during the planning and implementation of the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey. The broader public and the Census Bureau continue to benefit from the insights and recommendations provided by the representatives who serve on the African American Committee.
