'Face of the census': Robert Santos is the first Latino — he identifies as a Chicano and writes in mestizo on census forms — to head the U.S. Census Bureau.
Santos said his criticism was rooted in his own respect for the census and for numbers. Throughout much of his lifetime, he has worked with census data and its people.He also credited the Census Bureau for doing its job during that time.
The bureau is currently working on an economic census it plans to launch in January with all sorts of data on about 4 million businesses, from revenue to output issues, to help with supply chain assessments, he said. “Instead, we need to have a continuous relationship where we outreach, we have dialogues, we ask, 'What are your data needs?' But more importantly, we show you in very tangible ways, we show colonias , we show people in tribal lands, the value of the data" to them.Courtesy Roberto Santos
His parents, born in the U.S., were civil service workers at the now-closed Kelly Air Force Base. His father was a tool mechanic who created tools for the Air Force's C-5 cargo planes."He learned on his own, although he was a math whiz,” Santos said. Santos balanced his academics with married life and earned his math degree. He and his wife, Adella, just celebrated their 49th anniversary. He applied to several graduate schools but “only because of affirmative action” went to the University of Michigan, being awarded a fellowship for Latino students. Later he replaced it with a Ford Foundation fellowship.Courtesy Roberto Santos, the most comprehensive national survey of Americans of Mexican descent at the time.
