Census Information Center
The Northeast Council of Governments is an official repository
of Census
Bureau data. We will disseminate data and assist in the
understanding
and use of the data by its community and/or constituency.
Through partnerships with the Census Bureau, the CICs, such as
the Northeast
Council of Governments, provide tremendous benefits to the communities
they serve. For example:
- CICs provide relevant data, statistics, and reports to the
communities
they serve.
- CICs use census data in ways (e.g., fact sheets, briefs)
that make the
data and its implications accessible to those without Internet access
or
who have difficulty finding the right information or drawing relevant
implications
unassisted.
- CICs use census data for program planning, needs
assessment, defining
disenfranchised
populations, developing new business enterprises, and conducting
race/ethnic
related research.
- CICs offer a community-based perspective in neighborhood
settings that
are user friendly.
- CICs use census data to strengthen advocacy roles and help
remove
stereotypes
about their communities.
- CICs enhance understanding of census data by producing
specialized
reports
that are not produced by the Census Bureau for sub-population groups
for
smaller geographic areas.
- CICs use census data to perform data analyses, generate
tables and
charts,
produce thematic maps, provide technical consultation, prepare
issue-specific
analytic briefs, conduct training and workshop sessions, perform cross
tabulations and produce and disseminate in-depth public reports.
- CICs support a wide variety of Census Bureau outreach and
promotion
efforts
associated with the decennial census, the American Community Survey and
other Census Bureau programs such as current surveys by encouraging
cooperation
with the Census Bureau by persons in under served communities.
- CICs serve as test sites for the development of Census
Bureau data
products
and related software.
