[edit] Using Factfinder
I've added a bunch more images to the page. I've also created a shortcut (Oakland maps) and plan to create more maps for San Francisco, San Jose, California, and Los Angeles, or maybe even New York City.
If you would like to learn how to use the American Factfinder ([1]) , here's how (it takes a while to learn it):
Go to the website's main page and click on the "Data sets" tab on the left side. Once the page loads, you should see "Summary File (SF) 1," "SF 2," "SF 3," and so forth. Use SF 1 for race, renter/owner occupation, and age/sex data. SF 3 is for all sorts of economic, social, and housing characteristics.
Now click on "SF 1" or "SF 3." You can now select "quick tables," "detailed tables," or "thematic maps." Once you've selected something, select "place," "county," "state," etc. Then select a theme.
Summary of operations: Main -- All Data Sets -- Data Sets with Thematic Maps -- Geography -- Themes -- Results
There are a lot more features I haven't mentioned. Feel free to experiment with the Factfinder tools.
Thanks.
