It’s true. With a booming economy, vibrant art and culture and world-class outdoor experiences, Texas is the home of possibility and opportunity. That kind of success requires planning and hard work and that begins with an accurate census where every Texan counts.

The Texas Census Institute provides independent, nonpartisan, data-driven and trusted census policy and program guidance that encourages census participation so all Texans can enjoy a great quality of life. We accomplish our mission through research, education and regional partnerships. Our vision: Texas is the best place to live and work.

The Texas Census Institute grew out of the 2019 Texas Counts campaign, launched as a collaborative between Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) and Every Texan. The result was strategic, coordinated support to count every Texan in the 2020 Census and ensure the state received the funding, congressional representation and data needed to support its growing population.

The Texas Census Institute will work at the state, regional, and local levels to help the decennial census (every 10 years) and the American Community Survey (ACS) (every year) improve the accuracy of their count, share best practices, develop resources and increase public awareness on the most effective ways to ensure every Texan counts.

Our founding Executive Director is Angela Broyles.
