It is clear that there is plenty to be concerned about with respect to��data.census.gov.

Hope all are aware of this notice on the present ACS site...
American FactFinder (AFF) will be taken offline on March 31, 2020.��
My sense is that given the problems with��data.census.gov.and the difficulties that people are experiencing, the old system ought to remain available intact until there is a general consensus that the problems have been fixed.

Best,
Wendell Cox

Subject: ��Speaking with Users of Census Data

��

Hello!

I���m leading a design team that is helping the Census Bureau to improve the user experience for finding and downloading Census data.�� The vision is to discover and create more ideal processes/tools in a way that���s informed by the experience and needs of real users.

To inform this effort, we���re setting up qualitative interviews with regular users of Census data -- people like you.��

Would you be willing to talk with me and my team to share your experience about finding and accessing Census data? We���re planning a redesign over the coming year that will be based on what we learn from this field research.�� We will prototype designs for user-centered processes/webpages, which we will want to bounce off real users.�� Building a pool of relevant volunteers will help drive these test & learn cycles.

If you���d like to volunteer your perspective, please email me at adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com

Please include your name, your preferred contact information, and a brief summary of your role or affiliation.�� I���ll save that information to a spreadsheet and reach back out to the volunteers as we move forward.�� We will be speaking with small groups of about 1-5 people at a time.

Additionally, is there anyone else in your network who you think we should be talking to?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.�� We really appreciate it.

Looking forward >
