Data Blast is a monthly newsletter produced by Community Service Council's Census Information Center of Eastern Oklahoma. As an official partner of the U.S. Census Bureau, we are the area's leading source for population and socioeconomic data. Our mission is to provide access and analysis of Census data (and other related data) to increase understanding of the needs of our community's diverse, marginalized and underserved communities. Data Blast will highlight the latest data related to demographics, economic conditions, health, education and more to inform readers both of our community's overall well-being and of disparities experienced by particular populations.
