Description: "Unlocking the Census with GIS is an important new book describing how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used by novices and experienced users alike to better access, understand, manage, and analyze myriad kinds of census data and census-related information and present it in a spatial format." "As the authors note, the census can be "a dauntingly large and complex beast," but Unlocking the Census with GIS is an essential key for researchers and planners using modern computer technology to better understand where and how people live, work, travel, spend, and play."--BOOK JACKET.
