It also includes hypothetical examples that illustrate important principles or techniques related to working with census data, as well as tools that give readers a more complete understanding of the census and how valuable it can be to those using GIS software tools. Filled with tables, diagrams, maps and fact-filled sidebars, the book also provides a detailed tutorial on using American FactFinder, the Census Bureau’s main Web-based data access tool.
