Demographic data fast
Researchers, writers and planners often need to know demographic and economic data about a population. Maybe you need this data for a large area like a city or a county. Or perhaps you need this data for a small area like a block or a neighborhood. Depending on your project size, youâ??ve got 2 good options for getting population maps and data for your area of interest.
If you need maps and data for a large geographic area (think state, city or county), you can pull this data pretty easily from the Census Bureauâ??s website. You can get maps from the Census. And you can pretty easily select your large geographic area using the Censusâ?? FactFinder to pull detailed demographic and economic data for your area of interest. Maps and data from the Census are free and easy to use as long as you are getting the data for a large area.
However, if you need to get population maps and data for a small geographic area (think a block or a neighborhood), itâ??s a lot harder to use the Censusâ?? website. You canâ??t enter the name of your neighborhood into the Census. And how do you know which block number to tell the Census that you need to get population maps and data for?
