Welcome to All Things Census, a gathering place for postings about census methodology, findings and resources.

As the 2010 Census revs up its engine over the coming weeks, this site will look closely at its machinery.  After the actual count gets underway – beginning with enumeration in remote Alaska this month and ramping up with delivery of census forms in March — All Things Census will explore how well it is going. When the data come out, starting late this year, it will feature reports on what the numbers say and mean.

Contributors will come from throughout the Pew Research Center. The principal author will be me (I’m a senior writer for the Pew Research Center and a former demographics reporter for The Washington Post). Please send comments on the postings here. Suggest topics and links that you think should be mentioned. Share these posts with others. There are tools to do that on this page.
