The South Carolina State Library is pleased to announce a workshop on getting the most out of the US Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website.
American FactFinder provides access to data from several censuses and surveys conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that generates estimates on social, economic, housing, and demographic topics. Data users can access these estimates down to our smallest level of geography, block groups, using the ACS Summary File.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 – 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
WHERE: South Carolina State Library, 1500 Senate Street, Columbia (limited visitor parking available behind the library)
The workshop is free; however, attendees must register.
The presenter, Kelly Karres, is a regional Data Analyst with the U.S. Census Bureau and will help guide attendees to statistics on local and block information. Census information is often vital to new business owners, schools, professionals, job seekers, and researchers. It can provide definitive information for grant seekers, new residents looking for houses, politicians serving their constituents, or librarians helping patrons.
Come to the workshop to learn how to find and use this resource efficiently and effectively!
