About PAD

Located within the Cornell Population Center at the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, the Program on Applied Demographics (PAD) combines skills in demographics, economics, statistics, data gathering and data analysis in order to provide a variety of organizations with data, information and advice. PAD works closely with the New York State Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau and other organizations to provide consultation and support in their activities. We also serve as the New York State representative in the Federal-State Cooperative for Population Estimates (FSCPE).

Our work informs decision-making, evaluation, and policy across New York State, where we serve organizations and people in all 62 counties. Examples of PAD’s activities can be found here.

Being part of Cornell University gives PAD easy access to a world of further expertise. It also provides an environment that can handle different kinds of grants and other types of funding and cooperation.
