Mapping the U.S. Census with Social Explorer

Social Explorer is a web app which allows users to easily map a wide variety of socio-economic variables such as race, ethnicity, education, income, and health anywhere in the United States. Available to the entire Lafayette community through a subscription at Skillman Library, Social Explorer serves up historical and current US Census Bureau data, including the American Community Survey, from 1790 to the present. This is a hands-on workshop which will introduce you to Census data and guide you through making your own maps. Laptops will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own. This workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 26 - 12:15 to 1:00pm - Skillman 003.

Lunch provided on a first come first serve basis.
