		| Abstract: | 
		I will review recent progress in the determination of the local (z=0) space density of AGNs based on surveys conducted at optical, radio, and X-ray wavelengths. I will discuss the implications of these findings for our understanding of the demography of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. |
