NYC School of Data 2024 - March 23, 2024

18 Census Data Explained, Explored, Extracted!

David Kraiker
Data Dissemination Specialist, US Census Bureau

In this session, we will learn about the different facets of Census Bureau data (American Community Survey, Decennial, Population Estimates), how the data are collected, and how to find them in our principle portal, data.census.gov. 

We will learn the background of data collection, the parameters around what is available and when, and how to manipulate our system to better locate a piece of relevant data. We will also take time to use the mapping application that is located in data.census.gov to create tailored choropleth maps. Time permitting, we will work on a collaborative exercise (or two) to help ourselves better remember how to find data.
