Description:
Learn the basics of navigating data.census.gov, the tool for accessing U.S. Census Bureau data, including recently released data from the American Community Survey and the Economic Census. This training, hosted by a US Census Bureau trainer, provides guidance on using data.census.gov, including Single Search, Advanced Search, and mapping. Even longtime Census data users may consider this workshop, as the American Factfinder portal is set to cease operation in early 2020, leaving data.census.gov as a primary method for finding and downloading Census Bureau data
