Data nerds rejoice! The latest batch of data from the U.S. Census
Bureau was released last week. Each year, the U.S. Census Bureau
releases a variety of new data estimates from the past five years
on several areas, including:
Population and demographic data by city and county;
Income, poverty, and employment status;
Housing characteristics;
Educational attainment; and
Health insurance coverage.
The Department of Finance has posted all new California data sets
on their
website, which also includes helpful links to past data sets.
For those who truly want to geek out, the
U.S. Census Bureau website has even more data and tools to
analyze the data, including maps, tables, and data throughout the
nation to analyze. The data could be valuable for fiscal
forecasting, measuring outcomes of local initiatives, or honing
the knowledge of the characteristics of your community.
