The Minnesota State Demographic Center (SDC), a division of the Minnesota Department of Administration, serves as the state's primary provider of demographic data and analysis. Established to support informed decision-making, the SDC offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to various stakeholders.

These stakeholders include policymakers, state and local governments, businesses, nonprofits, the media, and residents.

Core Services and Offerings

• Population Estimates and Projections: The SDC generates independent estimates of population and households for most communities, counties, and the state as a whole. These projections encompass long-term forecasts by age, gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as labor force projections for the state.
• Data Analysis and Distribution: Serving as Minnesota's liaison to the U.S. Census Bureau, the SDC analyzes and disseminates data from federal and state sources. This includes monitoring key trends in economics, education, fertility, workforce, health, immigration, income, and poverty.
• Census Support and Outreach: The SDC plays a pivotal role in ensuring an accurate count during the decennial U.S. Census. By assisting with education, outreach, and promotion, it aims to achieve the fullest and most accurate count of Minnesota's population. This is crucial for congressional representation and redistricting.
• Publications and Resources: The center maintains an extensive archive of publications cataloging decades of population change in Minnesota. These resources are invaluable for researchers, policymakers, and the general public seeking historical and current demographic data.
• Training and Guidance: To enhance understanding and utilization of demographic data, the SDC offers various training opportunities, including webinars and in-person sessions. It also provides guidance on commonly asked questions and complex topics related to Minnesota's demographic data.
