U.S. Census Bureau

The Census Bureau serves as an institutional source of data about the United States’ people and economy. The goal of the Census Bureau is to provide the best mix of timeliness, relevancy, quality, and cost for the data collected and services provided. The first census, taken in 1790 by U.S. marshals on horseback, counted 3.9 million inhabitants. Today, the census counts more than 250 million U.S. inhabitants.

The Census Bureau provides a variety of United States data layers for ArcWeb Services users including roadways, water bodies, and population density in state, county, tract, block group, and block-level formats for mapping purposes. The bureau also provides a street finder tool, which supports geocoding with complete address, partial address, or place-names in the United States.
