Demographic Data

In Australia we have a huge amount of national info in gov census data. That's "joinable" to Tessitura by Geo area (in our case by Local Gov Area).  I did a slideshow of it a while ago if you think it might be relevant.

Thanks so much Heath.  I've been looking at a few sites here in the states that provide demographic data from our census.  Wondering if anyone has a preference for the most accurate, up to date, and easy to access.

As for your slideshow, if it is easy to pull up and share I'd love to see it (although separate in my work here!).  Thanks again.

I've also just gone to the census bureau's website: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/

The learning curve can be steep, but it's a really powerful tool once you get the hang of it.

It maybe does bear saying that for some topics right now, you're better off taking data from the American Community Survey (ACS), which is updated much more regularly because it's done by sampling and not a proper census (even though the census bureau runs it). When the 2020 census results are all tallied, though, that'll change.

I'll take a look at both, thanks for the help!
