Capturing the big picture in demographic analysis.

Demographic research can deepen our understanding of who we are as a society. The Population Research Center (PRC) is an interdisciplinary organization that aids in this exploration by facilitating high-quality analysis of in-depth survey data.

PRC’s growth over our almost 40-year history has embraced such fields as economics, psychology, business, public policy, medicine, and social services administration. The diversity of our work reflects the theme of integrative research at NORC in partnership with the University of Chicago.
