CensusScope was designed, developed, and programmed by associates of SSDAN. Since the site was launched in 2001, it has received numerous awards and reviews. In the summer of 2002, CensusScope was selected as a "Yahoo! Picks" site of the day, a USA Today "Hot Site", and was featured on National Public Radio.
