This virtual training continues NCOA's partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure that all older adults and adults with disabilities are counted. 

During this event hosted by NCOA’s Equity in Aging Collaborative, Census subject matter experts will provide an overview of Census data tools that contribute to a more holistic picture of how individuals are aging in the U.S.

Subject matter experts from the U.S. Census Bureau will discuss demographics related to older adults, to include: household composition of grandparents living with and responsible for their grandchildren; and data sets within the intersecting topics of aging, disability and poverty. Statistics like these inform researchers, educators, advocates, and policy makers, and can help us work together to prepare for demographic shifts among older adults in the coming decade. The webinar will conclude with a brief demonstration on how to access data tables using data.census.gov and Q&A.
