The Economic Census helps every American. Businesses use Economic Census data to make decisions about where to locate, how much to produce, and to compare their performance to other businesses in their industry or community. Local communities use Economic Census results to attract new businesses, assess the economic health of their localities, understand the characteristics of their business base, and compare their community to other geographical areas. Individuals can use economic census results to identify emerging job markets and growing industries. Use the Census Business Builder to see how Census economic data can profile businesses and their customers for various localities.
