Census 2010 & GeoDemographics ... the importance to you ... goto top
  notes & observations by Warren Glimpse

Perspectives ... saying 'why Census 2010 & GeoDemographics are important to you' is elusive. Followers, stakeholders, data users wear different hats, and more. What is too technical for some is too simplistic or irrelevant to others.

During the lead-up to Census 2010, perhaps the strongest appeal heard for the involvement of every American, was to get the local area's correct share of Federal funds. While this might seem like a good selling point to increase response rates, it sells the true importance of Census 2010 far too short. And while Census 2010 in undeniably important as the basis for Congressional apportionment and redistricting at many geographic levels, this too offers a short-sighted view of the importance. Here are some thoughts on the importance of Census 2010 to you.

First, from a more macro view, why Census 2010 is important to you ...
Census 2010 is a cornerstone for the broader set of geodemographics that enable data-driven analysis and decision-making. We need geodemographics so that we are better able to determine 'where we are', how things have changed and how things might change in the future. We also need to know what has changed, how much, where, and when. Without a basic understanding of 'where we are', there is little chance that we can develop a feasible plan about 'where we want to be.' Geodemographics help paint this picture in ways that can help with individual situations; we can pick the geography, subject matter and time dimensions that meet our needs.

The population of the U.S. is changing minute to minute. Every hour there are about 490 births in the country and about 280 deaths. Roughly 12.5% of the households move each year, 1,600 per hour, and some people leave the country and others enter the country each hour. The U.S. population never stops changing and the nature of change varies widely by different areas and geographic granularity. How does this impact your organization? Your constituency, members or clients?

Second, how do these geodemographics help me ...
'Geodemographics' reflects the near equal footing of geographic data and demographic data. It can be argued that the most valuable part of Census 2010 are the TIGER shapefiles and related geographic products. These geographic resources have vast utility independent of the demographic data; though their union makes for an even more powerful resource. Relatedly, geographic information systems and visually based tools and technologies offer new and increasingly wide-ranging abilities to convert raw data into more consumable and collaborative information.

Third, the importance of integrating and using multi-sourced data ...
This section is focused on methods and resources to integrate and use data from Census 2010, American Community Survey (ACS) and directly related developments. A significant challenge in determining the 'where we are' and related matters are 1) integrating these data among themselves and 2) integrating these data with other, typically, non-Census data. Beyond viewing data from these programs, the very next step for most users is to attempt to associate these data with other data.

Here, we are less concerned about the telling a story as a journalist might and more concerned about tools, data and methodologies that empower journalists to tell many diverse stories. For a researcher, we are less concerned with developing analytical results for any one situation or discipline and more focused on the tools, data and methodologies that empower the best possible analyses. For K-12 education leadership, we are less concerned about conveying a demographic portrait of a school district, and more concerned with tools, data and methodologies that empower that leadership to determine 'where we are', how things have changed and how things might change in the future and enhance educational opportunity; e.g. how should attendance zones be structured to achieve the district's vision?

With the 'taking of Census 2010' now behind us, we are ready to steps toward accessing and using these data ... and prepare for Census 2020.
