Census Bureau Headquarters, Maryland

The headquarters and primary location for the US Census Bureau, the agency that, every ten years, attempts to count every person living in the country, as well as processing census data used to analyze social and economic conditions in America, is located in Suitland, Maryland, six miles south of the Capitol in Washington DC. The Bureau moved to the site in 1941, the first occupants of the newly developed Suitland Federal Center. A new building opened in 2007, and the 4,200 workers of the Bureau moved into it.
