What is Census GPT?

Census GPT is a web-based platform that lets you query US demographic and crime data using natural language. Instead of navigating government databases, you type questions like 'What are the safest neighbourhoods in Austin?' or 'Which cities have the highest median income in California?' and get results instantly. The tool pulls from the American Community Survey (2021 ACS data) for demographics, income, and education statistics, plus FBI crime data (2019 UCR). It's designed for people who need quick answers about population trends, crime rates, or economic data without learning to use traditional census tools. The interface offers both simple and advanced search options, making it accessible whether you're doing casual research or more detailed analysis.
