We believe that behind every policy debate, economic shift, or cultural transformation lies one powerful force: demographics. Understanding how populations grow, move, age, and evolve isn’t just an academic pursuit—it’s essential for building a prosperous and equitable future.

At the Center, we study demographic trends to provide real-world insights that can help shape local, state, and national policies. From housing and work to immigration and generational change, our goal is to bring forward data and stories that highlight the challenges—and opportunities—facing America’s middle and working classes.
