Good Data Come in Small Geographies

Description

This presentation focuses on understanding four "smaller" geographies - Census Block, Block Group, Tract and Zip Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). We will explore the advantages and limitations of these geographies, as well as how they are constructed. We will use the Explore Census Data tool to illustrate how to find demographic and decennial data for these areas.

Presenter: David Kraiker
