American FactFinder Tool
Captured 12/1/2012
Maybe the Census Bureau is just performing maintenance or an update to its site. But at some point this week, all information for the 112th Congress disappeared from the American FactFinder tool at census.gov. The screenshot above shows that information is still available for previous congresses but not for the current 112th Congress.
MEAN Democracy uses the American FactFinder tool’s census data to hold individual congress members responsible for median income trends in their home districts, but that task has been impossible this week because all information for the 112th Congress has gone dark.
No response yet after contacting the webmaster. We will monitor the site to see when the information goes back online.
