Our Mission

PRB's Domestic Programs department informs decisionmakers, educators, the media, and concerned citizens about the changing demography of the United States and its implications for important public policies. Our public information program provides information to the media, other NGOs, educators, researchers, students, and staff at U.S. government agencies.

What Distinguishes Us

PRB’s Domestic Programs has a strong reputation as a producer of high-quality, objective data and analysis. Since 1992, PRB staff members have worked with the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT network, providing data and technical assistance to grantee organizations, contributing to the annual KIDS COUNT Data Books, and organizing and participating in national and regional workshops. This experience has helped PRB staff develop thorough knowledge of the U.S. Census, American Community Survey (ACS), Current Population Survey, and other products of the federal statistical system. We offer:

• 15 years of experience in analyzing U.S. social and demographic trends.
• Unparalleled expertise (outside of the Census Bureau) in analyzing ACS data.
• High-quality reports and objective data analyses.
• Expertise in translating demographic research for nontechnical audiences.
