Louis Kincannon

Until recently Louis Kincannon  was Director of the Census Bureau, a role to which he was appointed  by President Bush and confirmed by the Senate in 2002.  He was the longest serving director since the Eisenhower Administration.  He began his career as a statistician at the U.S. Census Bureau in 1963 after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin.  Louis held various posts at Census and also at OMB. In 1992, he was appointed as the first chief statistician in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris to coordinate the organization’s statistical programs, as well as advise the OECD secretary general on statistical policy.  In the 1960s he lived at 518 G St SE, 121 12th St SE, and 636 G St SE, where he and his wife Claire met and married.  He served on the vestry of Christ Church and the initial board of Capitol Hill Day School.  He and Claire returned to the Hill in 2002 and reside on 10th St SE. They joined CHV shortly thereafter, since it offered a good way to fill current and future needs for them and many other neighbors.
