Census GPT Product Information

Census GPT is an AI-assisted data tool that functions as a data analyst for U.S. Census-related information. It focuses on demographics, crime, income, education, and population data sourced from official U.S. datasets (ACS 2021 latest release for most demographics; FBI UCR 2019 for crime). The platform aims to help users quickly surface insights such as city rankings, neighborhood compositions, and demographic distributions, with ongoing efforts to expand data coverage beyond the current scope.


How to Use Census GPT

  1. Ask specific Census-related questions. Examples: best-performing neighborhoods by income, demographics of a city, crime comparisons by area, etc.
  2. Utilize the provided data constraints. Understand that data availability is limited to the USA and limited data domains (crime, demographics, income, education, population).
  3. Explore results and caveats. Data is sourced from 2021 ACS (demographics, income, education, population) and FBI 2019 UCR (crime); newer data may be added in future updates.

Disclaimer: Census GPT currently focuses on the USA and relies on official datasets. Data updates and additional domains are in development.
