Advanced Usage of data.census.gov

These participatory classes walk you through some of the more advanced ways to use data.census.gov to find demographic and economic data, including detailed race, ethnicity, and ancestry data, finding data for collections of geographies, using geographic components (e.g., urban and rural), and more.

Time is allotted throughout the training for questions and participation is strongly encouraged. We ask that participants have a solid background in using data.census.gov or have completed the Basics of Finding Data Using data.census.gov workshop, as the basics of using the site will not be covered in this workshop.

To ensure that we can maximize the number of attendees, we ask that you only register for a single session. If you need to register for more than one session of the same workshop for any reason, please email us at census.data@census.gov to request this.

  • Please click sessions below to register.
  • Registration is required to attend these workshops. Attendance is limited to 50 participants per session.

***When registering, if you receive a message that the date you selected is full, please sign up for a later class. We are trying to move classes to the No Seating Available section as they fill, but sometimes there is a lag in that update.
