## Get Started

We've created the Local Open Data Census to survey and compare the progress made by different cities and local areas in releasing Open Data. You can help by tracking down Open Data from a city or region where you live or that you're interested in. Here are the Censuses that are already created:
We've created the Local Open Data Survey to survey and compare the progress made by different cities and local areas in releasing Open Data. You can help by tracking down Open Data from a city or region where you live or that you're interested in. Starting this year, we have changed the survey tool and the old Censuses are for archive only you can see te list here:

{!_includes/local_census_instances.md!}

Don't see your country in the list? All you need to do is __register your interest in this form__ and we'll get your Local Open Data Census set up and ready to use.
If you don't see your country in the list or need a new instance, all you need to do is __register your interest in this form__ and we'll get your Local Open Data Survey set up and ready to use.

### Background

Expand All @@ -62,9 +64,9 @@ Local data is often the most relevant to citizens on a daily basis – be it rub

We know there is huge variability in how much local data is available not just across countries but within countries, with some cities and municipalities making major open data efforts, while in others there's little or no progress visible. If we can find out what open data is out there, we can encourage more cities to open up key information, helping businesses and citizens understand their cities and making life easier.

#### What's the Relation with the National Open Data Census?
#### What's the Relation with the Global Open Data Index?

The [National Open data Census][national-open-data-census] surveys the availability of key datasets at the national, country, level. It has been run annually since 2012 by Open Knowledge International. It is used to produce the [Open Data Index][open-data-index], the global reference for the state of open data released by national governments.
The [Global Open Data Survey][national-open-data-census] assesses the availability of key datasets at the national, country, level. It has been run annually since 2012 by Open Knowledge International. It is used to produce the [Open Data Index][open-data-index], the global reference for the state of open data released by national governments.

The Index (and Census) answer questions like: which key datasets are being released? Is the available data legally and technically usable so that citizens, civil society and businesses can realise the full benefits of the information?
