What is the Curated Data Enterprise? Envisioning the Census Bureau of the Future: A 21st Century Census Curated Data Enterprise

Abstract

The Curated Data Enterprise is both an infrastructure and a continuous evolving ambition. The vision is to empower and enable Census Bureau scientists and their data users to develop new and better measures of America’s people, places, and economy. This 21st-century model will exploit multiple data sources across sample surveys, censuses, federal, state, and local administrative data, as well as third-party data, in order to produce more robust, granular, timelier, and comprehensive measures of demographic changes, social trends, and economic activity.
