Economic Census
The Economic Census is the official five-year measure of American businesses providing comprehensive statistics at the national, state, and local levels. It serves as the benchmark for current economic activity, such as the Gross Domestic Product and Producer Price Index.
Invitations to complete the Economic Census were mailed to selected businesses starting on January 31, 2023. Businesses who received an invitation and have not yet responded, should log in to portal.census.gov to access their account.
Response is required by law.
