Locating Census 2010 Data using the NEW American FactFinder<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The U.S. Census Bureau introduced a NEW American FactFinder online Census data tool with enhanced searching and data display capabilities in conjunction with the release of 2010 Census data. In this workshop you will learn how to use the new American FactFinder to locate and download data – and create thematic maps – from a wide variety of population, economic, and housing information in the 2010 and 2000 decennial Censuses. From information on individual neighborhoods or zip codes, to state- or national-level data, the new American FactFinder is a powerful tool for navigating the vast amounts of data made available by the U.S. Census Bureau. The new American FactFinder will also soon replace the legacy American FactFinder as the platform for retrieving data from the American Community Survey (the ongoing Census program which produces data on educational attainment, income, occupation, marital status, and other detailed social and economic characteristics), and will also deliver data from the Economic Census. Join us to learn more about how to effectively navigate the NEW American FactFinder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n University of Connecticut Stamford Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday 07\/06\/11 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Stamford Campus – Computer Lab 306<\/a> 12 4 Register<\/a> <\/p>\n Wednesday 07\/06\/11 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Stamford Campus – Computer Lab 306<\/a> 12 2 Register<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n University of Connecticut Torrington Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday 07\/11\/11 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Torrington Computer Lab (Room 126)<\/a> 25 4 Register<\/a> <\/p>\n Monday 07\/11\/11 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Torrington Computer Lab (Room 126)<\/a> 25 2 Register<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More workshops coming soon!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To keep current on the latest Census, Mapping, and Workshop offerings check out the Connecticut State Data Center\u2019s website (http:\/\/ctsdc.uconn.edu<\/a>) and follow our blog (http:\/\/outsidetheneatline.blogspot.com<\/a>) \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you interested in learning more about using the New American FactFinder to access data from the 2010 U.S. Census?
