This course covers a baseline understanding of geographic concepts and what a beginner needs to know to find Census Bureau data for their area of interest. You will learn about the types of geographies while creatively touring examples of them in the real world. Each module is followed by a bonus video demonstrating how to find a relevant geography in a Census Bureau data tool.
This course is designed for grant-writers, geographers, GIS-users, students, teachers and those who need to understand the underlying principles of Census Bureau geographic concepts to use our data.
Module 1: Legal Geography
This module will explain various Census Bureau legal geographies and talk about their uses and differences from other geographies. Go on a short field trip with David Kraiker, Data Dissemination Specialist at the Census Bureau, to see an Incorporated Place. Take a short quiz to test your knowledge. Then watch how to find county subdivisions using data.census.gov.
