Objective 4.1: U.S. Information

Produce accurate, timely, and relevant information about the United States - its population, economy, and governments

Other Information:

The Census Bureau provides statistics that are critical to understanding current conditions in the country. It does so directly by issuing official statistics and indirectly by providing source data to other agencies. Strategies and means: * Provide top quality statistics on a broad set of current social and economic topics on or ahead of established schedules. * Ensure relevance by releasing information as quickly as possible, by updating measures to reflect the changing characteristics of the population and the economy, and by dropping measures that are no longer useful. * Develop policy-relevant information and analytic reports, and make them easily accessible on the Census Bureau’s Website, that enhance understanding of trends in the nation and the world and describe the newest features of the U.S. economy and newest practices of U.S. businesses. Measuring performance: * Data collected from the planned number of households, governments, or businesses necessary to meet designed levels of reliability. * Statistics on all economic indicators and on the full range of current statistics released.
