Notes:
Downloading data from AFF is relatively easy. Go up in the top right hand corner under the ‘Print/Download’ button of whatever table you are at and select the Download option. Simply pick one of the two available format options [comma delimited (.csv) or tab delimited (.txt)] and save the table down to your PC drive. After the file has saved, using Windows Explorer, you can open the file and it will be formatted in the same tabular view you saw on AFF, only it will be brought up as a spreadsheet.
It is important to note that we are showing how to download TABLES in AFF, NOT how to download raw data files. For raw data files, it’s best to go back to the FTP site or purchase a CD-ROM through census.gov.
Now we’ll take a look at the CD-ROM product. (In this case the Demonstration Disc)
