The Bay Area Census website at BayAreaCensus.ca.gov is a project from the joint staff of the Association of Bay Area Governments and Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
The site features the latest data available from the United States Census Bureau, with a focus on the needs of the Bay Area, including:
- Interactive dashboards that break down data by year and location. See data for 2000, 2010 or 2020 by city, county or for the entire region.
- Layer on demographic elements including age, sex, race, household type, household size and more.
- The dashboards feature a high-level text summary, bar graphs and doughnut charts that demonstrate trends at a glance, along with the numerical figures and percentages.
- Users can download data sets that they can use offline.
- The historical census data from 1950 through 1990 has been maintained on this site, offering information that cannot be easily found elsewhere.
