What changed in the population and in the answers, newest first. Every entry is something you can see or ask.
- September 6, 2026
Every US adult now carries a party (Democrat, Republican, independent or other), a place on the liberal-to-conservative scale and, for those who voted, who they voted for for President in November 2024, from the Cooperative Election Study, matched to each state. Ask about Republicans in Ohio, moderates in Arizona or Trump voters in Michigan directly.
- September 6, 2026
In the global population every person now carries whether they were born in another country, by their country's share of international migrants. Ask about immigrants in Germany or the Gulf directly.
- September 6, 2026
In the global population every person now lives in an urban or a rural area, by their country's urban share. Ask about urban adults in Nigeria or rural women in Kenya.
- September 6, 2026
In the global population, every person in 37 European countries now lives in one of 296 regions, matched to Eurostat's counts by age and sex. Ask about adults in Oberbayern, Andalucía or Île-de-France directly.
- September 6, 2026
Every US adult now carries three measures from the national health examination: high cholesterol, an elevated blood pressure reading, and blood sugar in the normal, prediabetes or diabetes range. Ask about adults with high cholesterol directly.
- September 6, 2026
Every answer with enough places now carries a map you can pan and zoom, coloured by the answer state by state (or country by country), with the interval on hover; the report's map is the same.
- September 6, 2026
Every profile now lives in a county as well as a state, matched to the Census Bureau's 2025 county estimates. Ask about Harris County, Orleans Parish or Cook County directly.
- September 6, 2026
Every employed adult now carries whether they belong to a union and whether they have a retirement plan through work, and every adult whether the household received SNAP, energy assistance or a housing subsidy, from the Current Population Survey's annual supplement. Ask about union members or households on SNAP directly.
- September 6, 2026A front page that explains
Below the question box the page now says what this is, how an answer is made and where it goes, in plain words; the counters and the sample answer are gone, and the waitlist asks only for an email.
- September 6, 2026census.world is live
The site is public at census.world: ask a question, read the two finished reports, see every check of the population.
- September 6, 2026
Ten open markets were put to the population as expectation questions, and the validation page shows the population’s answer beside the price traders paid, market by market, with the resolutions as they settle.
- September 6, 2026
Whether Ohio's self-employed would pay $50 a month for an AI bookkeeping assistant, asked of every self-employed adult in Ohio the population holds, with every breakdown, the reasons and the kinds of people. Both finished reports are linked from the front page.
- September 6, 2026A report you can print
Every report page has a print control, and the page prints as a clean document or saves as a PDF: no menus, no forms, each chart whole on its page.
- September 6, 2026
A report can now ask the same people a second question after the first, filtered by what they answered and told what they said. The finished report carries two: whether the people who would pay ten dollars or more would take ads for five dollars less, and how many services everyone pays for now.
- September 6, 2026
The finished report now carries what every person asked said in their own words, two thousand reasons you can search or filter by answer, and the kinds of people in the answer, read from those reasons with the share of each and its interval.
- September 6, 2026
One question was run in full, on two thousand profiles, and its report is public: every breakdown, the states, the market size and the demand by segment, from the same people as the answer. Read it before you ask for your own.
- September 6, 2026Rankings, checked
When a question asks people to rank options, the answer now says how far simulated first and last choices sat from real people's on a ranking question from the General Social Survey, the way other kinds of question already do. Allocations are the one kind still unchecked, and the answer says so.
- September 5, 2026census.world
The site has its name: census.world. A new front page under it, with how the population is built, checked and asked in three steps with their numbers, an answer as it looks, and the questions already asked. Not the census, and not affiliated with any government; a synthetic population built from public statistics.
- September 5, 2026What the report holds, on your sample
Every finished answer now opens a sample of the full report: the answer by every attribute the population carries, ranked by how far apart the groups sit, the states as a map, the market size in people, and for prices the demand curve by segment. All from the same profiles as the free answer; a full run asks thousands.
- September 5, 2026
A validation page shows what the population in use was checked against: the census cells, the tables held out of the build in every state, and how far each kind of question sits from a real survey. The methodology page and every answer link to it.
- September 5, 2026
Every household now carries the ages of its children, so you can ask parents of teenagers directly. The top bar works on a phone. The state-by-state card sketches the states in their places.
- September 5, 2026
The questions shown on the front page are now a curated set. Getting in touch has its own page, reached from the foot of every answer. The filter understands business owners, homeowners, renters and commuters. A comparison with other synthetic-research products lives at its own address.
- September 5, 2026
A privacy page that says exactly what is kept (no cookies, no tracking, your email goes nowhere else), terms that say what an answer is and is not, both linked from every page. Error pages in our voice. A shared link now shows a card. The free sample no longer offers more profiles for nothing; more goes through the form.
- September 5, 2026Titles, and a page for lost addresses
Every page now has its own title, every answer carries its question in the tab, and an address that does not exist gets a page in our own words with the way back.
- September 5, 2026A face for every voice
Every person quoted on an answer page now has a small drawn orb beside their words: two soft tones, a hand-drawn face and a scribble of hair, a woman or a man at a glance, the same every time for the same person, and never anyone real.
- September 5, 2026The demand curve, and what a full run adds
Amount questions now show the share who would pay at least each price and where price times share peaks. Every finished answer also shows what the full report adds: demand by segment, market size, every breakdown, state by state, the kinds of people in the answer, every reason, and more, each a step away through the form.
- September 5, 2026Ask us to run it
Every finished answer now ends with a short form: tell us what you want to run on the whole population, or on your own segments, and we reply within a day. There is no price list to read first.
- September 5, 2026
The population page lists every attribute as a tree: a family, an attribute, what sits under it, and at the bottom the values with their share of the population, live. It goes deeper where there is data and stops where there is not.
- September 5, 2026
Whether a person volunteered, gave to charity, belongs to a group, attended a public meeting, contacted a public official or talks politics most weeks, from the Census Bureau's civic engagement supplement and fitted to each state. Ask about volunteers in Ohio or donors in Texas.
- September 4, 2026
Every US citizen 18 and over now carries whether they voted in November 2024 and whether they are registered, drawn by state, sex and age from the Census Bureau's voting supplement. Ask about voters, non-voters or registered voters in any state.
- September 4, 2026Who is being asked, in the progress tray
The tray under the question bar now names the population and its size before the sample count, since the population is filtered first and only then asked.
- September 4, 2026
Whether someone moved in the past year, and whether a woman had a child in the past year, are now validated against published tables in every state.
- September 4, 2026A cleaner answer headline
The figure and what it means sit on one line in a card, with the 95% interval drawn beneath as a band and a dot on the answer's own scale. The accuracy note for the kind of question now lives only under How this was computed.
- September 4, 2026
Whether someone works for a private company, a nonprofit, local, state or federal government, or for themselves, and how long their commute takes, are now validated against published tables in every state.
- September 4, 2026
Family income against the poverty line, carried from the survey record and checked per state against the published table. Ask about adults below the poverty line, or low-income families, in any state.
- September 4, 2026Small fixes on the front page
The Solutions menu no longer closes while the pointer crosses to it, the source logos fill their row, headings lost their trailing periods and wrap in balance, and the foot of the page is the waitlist alone.
- September 4, 2026
Market research, consumer brands, media, policy, academic research, AI builders and health each have a page: what you ask, what you get, and questions to start with. The Solutions menu opens them.
- September 4, 2026
How the population is built and checked, what an answer contains, three ways to get an answer, and the known methods it all stands on, on one page.
- September 4, 2026Amounts answer less roundly
When a question asks for a number or a point on a scale, each person is now asked for the number they would actually report rather than the typical one. On the survey items used to check amounts, answers moved closer to real people's by nine points.
- September 4, 2026
Smoking, drinking, self-rated health, anxiety and depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, weight category, sleep and exercise, drawn from national health surveys and fitted to each state. Ask about adults with diabetes in Texas, or smokers in West Virginia.
- September 4, 2026Why they answered this way
Every finished answer now carries a few of the people asked explaining their answer in their own words, spread across the answers, with a short reading of what drives the split.
- September 4, 2026Rankings, allocations and comparisons
Ask people to rank options, to split a fixed total across them, or to compare two populations in one question. Each kind has its own layout, and comparisons show both sides, the difference with its interval, and both samples.
- September 4, 2026Accuracy per kind of question
Each answer says how far its kind of question tends to sit from real survey answers, checked against the General Social Survey, and says plainly when a kind has not been checked yet. Amounts are the weakest kind, and the page says so.
- September 4, 2026Parents as a population
Adults living with their own children can be asked directly: "Would parents in Texas support a ban on phones in schools?"
- September 4, 2026Language spoken at home, checked
The language people speak at home and how well they speak English are now validated against published tables in almost every state.
- September 4, 2026
Who you are asking: every attribute family with its source and an example question, and what is not here yet.
- September 4, 2026Household attributes on every person
Household size and composition, whether children live at home, tenure, vehicles and internet at home, carried on every US profile from the survey record.
- September 3, 2026The synthetic United States
Every state, every single year of age, sex, race and Hispanic origin matched to the Census Bureau's 2025 estimates; education, work, income, family, citizenship, disability and insurance from the American Community Survey, checked against tables the build never saw.
