AAI’s Census Information Center

Posted on Wednesday June 10, 2009

The Census Information Centers (CICs) have become an integral part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s data dissemination network. The primary focus of a CIC is making census information and data available to under served communities that may not have access to census data through other means of the data dissemination network. Started in 1988, the CIC Program is a cooperative venture between the U.S. Census Bureau and national level, community-based organizations and colleges and universities to serve as auxiliary data distribution centers reaching underserved populations. These organizations effectively process and disseminate Census Bureau data to under served population groups in easily understandable formats.

The Census Bureau has designated AAI as its only Census Information Center dedicated to analyzing data on the Arab American community. Please click here for more information on AAI’s CIC or to make a request for custom information on Arab Americans.
