The Asian American Federation of New York's Census Information Center (CIC) Program is a community-based component of the U.S. Census Bureau's Data Dissemination Network. Its purpose is to facilitate access and use of census data as well as participation in Census Bureau censuses and surveys by underserved communities.
In August 2000, the Census Bureau designated the Asian American Federation as one of the 57 CICs in the country. As an official repository of Census Bureau data, the Federation receives a variety of data products, information and services directly from the Census Bureau.
What does the Federation CIC offer?
A Sampling of Their Reports:
Working But Poor: Asian American Poverty in New York City (2008)
The Federation issued a census-based report on poverty among Asian New Yorkers - a serious, complex issue not well-known to the general public. This first detailed analysis of 2006 American Community Survey and Census 2000 data on poor and low-income Asians in the city describes their demographic traits and patterns, many of which reflect differences from the general population in those income categories.
Economic Characteristics Of Asian Americans in the New York Metropolitan Area
The Federation’s Census Information Center (CIC) has prepared a Census 2000-based analysis offering unprecedented detail on work-force participation, employment, earnings, income, housing, and occupational and industry representation of Asian Americans in the New York Metropolitan Area. The report covers the Asian American population overall and the six largest ethnic groups in the New York region.
