Making the Most of Mapping in data.census.gov
Join us in this participatory class as we look at mapping capabilities in data.census.gov. You’ll learn the basics of mapping, including how to map data found in tables available in the site. Next, you’ll learn how to use the mapping capabilities to discern between geographies and determine if they have changed over time. Then you’ll take a quick look at another great mapping tool offered by the Census Bureau—TIGERweb.
Time is allotted throughout the training for questions. General familiarity with navigating data.census.gov is recommended. Using two monitors is recommended for this class, if available.
Registration is required to attend these workshops. Attendance is limited to 50 participants per session.
