Warren Brown came to the Institute in 2009 as the first director of its new Applied Demography Program, a partnership between the Vinson Institute and the State of Georgia Office of Planning and Budget. This initiative provides current demographic data and detailed projections about Georgia's population to state and local decision makers for strategic planning purposes.

Before joining the Institute, Dr. Brown directed Cornell University's Program on Applied Demographics, producing population estimates and projections for New York State. Dr. Brown has worked closely with the U.S. Census Bureau; he is a past chair of the Census Bureau's Federal State Cooperative for Population Estimates. He was also the research director of Cornell's Census Research Data Center, one of nine centers in the country providing approved projects with access to internal files of the Census Bureau.

Dr. Brown's interest in demography focuses on how population changes affect the demand for and supply of housing, labor, and consumer goods and services. He has a B.A. in religious studies from the University of Virginia, an M.A. in Sociology from the New School for Social Research, and a Ph.D. in Development Sociology from Cornell University.
