Data.census.gov Newsletter ? October 2023

What's New?

In September, we implemented several enhancements to our site including the new Population Pyramid app and the addition of easy-to-access citations for tables. The new app showcases the use of population pyramids to tell data stories and features a?widget that allows you to find the population pyramid for your community.

The app features intuitive scrolling, keyboard controls, and scalable text to help you navigate the application with ease. Check it out at:?

Also new this month is the ability to easily access citations for tables by using the new ?Citations? tab. This new Cite button automatically provides a citation for the table in common formats that can be copied: MLA, APA, Chicago, and Harvard. The button also provides options to export the citation for BibTeX and Reference Manager.

Finally, new this month is the Profiles tab accessible throughout the site, designed with ease of navigation in mind. This tab simplifies your journey to explore geographical and other profiles, offering a curated list of relevant profiles tailored to your search.
