Fill Out the BRC 2024 Census Today  The BRC Census is a collaborative research project to learn more about the participants who make up Black Rock City. This all-volunteer team conducts a random sample questionnaire by asking Burners entering the event, then collects online survey responses after BRC. If you were there, please take 15 minutes to fill out the 2024 Census form; your responses help paint a bigger picture of the curious beings who brought BRC to life.
