Synopsis

The U.S. Census provides billions of pieces of complex data about millions of exceptionally diverse people. ""Unlocking the Census with GIS"" describes how GIS can be used to better access, understand, manage, and analyze census data and census-related information and present it in a spatial format. Numerous maps, tables, sidebars, and other in-depth examples and explanations are provided to guide readers to an understanding of the census and its value to those using powerful GIS software tools. This easy-to-navigate book is a resource for urban planners, demographers, research professionals, educators, and students who work with census data.
