National Processing Center (NPC)

In business since 1958, the National Processing Center (NPC) is the U.S. Census Bureau’s primary center for collecting, capturing, and delivering timely, high-quality data products and services for surveys and censuses at the best value. Services provided include: mail processing, data capture, statistical operations, geographic operations, and call center support.  As one of Southern Indiana’s largest employers, our 80-acre campus is home to:

• Approximately 1 million square feet of data processing space (the size of 18 football fields) in Jeffersonville
• A flexible labor force, with the ability to rapidly expand to meet changing work requirements—from 1,200 to more than 6,000 employees
• Millions of forms processed annually
• Three strategically placed telephone centers in Jeffersonville, IN; Hagerstown, MD; and Tucson, AZ

We process monthly, quarterly, and annual surveys which include demographic data, population statistics, economic indicators, housing statistics, business, construction, and foreign trade information, as well as others. Some of the censuses we perform are:  the Decennial Census, Economic Census, Census of Governments, and the Census of Agriculture.
