The Polish Community Needs Your Help in the 2010 Census

The 2010 Uinted States Census will be different than previous versions and it is essential that you identify yourself as having Polish ancestry! This information will be utilized by companies, organizations and the government in understanding how many Polish Americans live in each U.S. state and how important Polish-Americans are as consumers and constituents. Please read our press release and inform your friends, family and neighbors!

Piast Institute Census Services

As a Census Information Center (CIC), Piast Institute has access to all major databases of U.S. census information. It has a special interest in developing data on ancestry and ethnic groups with a particular focus on Polish Americans. The Piast Institute regularly produces summary and analytical reports on a wide variety of topics using census data as well as information from a wide variety of other public and private non-proprietary sources for organizations, non-profits and private businesses. Piast Institute’s demographic, social and economic reports are used by non-profit and for-profit organizations for marketing, recruiting, applying for grants and for program evaluation and assessment.

For a sample research report produced by the Piast Institute, please click here. This report was created by Piast to illustrate the size Polish-American populations in various parts of the United States. For information, please contact the Dominik Stecula or Dr. Radzilowski.

The United States Census Information Center program

The Piast Institute is an official CIC for the United States. There are only 54 such centers in the United States, and the Piast Institute is the only CIC located in the Great Lakes states and it is the only CIC whose mission includes a special emphasis on a European ethnic group.

The CIC is a cooperative program between the U.S. Census Bureau and national, regional, and local Census Information Centes located at Universities, Research Centers and other non-profit organizations serving specific populations. The centers serve as repositories of census data and reports, making census information and data available to the public and the communities they serve.

The CICs use census data in areas such as program planning, advocacy needs assessment, defining service areas, public policy development, developing new business enterprises, and conducting race/ethnic-related research.
