-- tools to access, view, integrate & analyze data resources GeoStat is a powerful resource to access and integrate multi-sourced Federal and other geostatistical data in a manner that facilities creating and applying insights -- data-driven planning, management and analysis. Supporting access to, integration and use of Census 2010, American Community Survey (ACS), the Regional Economic Information System, ProximityOne estimates and projections and other statistical programs now, GeoStat will progressively provide access to Census 2020. An important feature of GeoStat, providing API-based access to these data, is the ability to integrate of data from diverse statistical programs. Unlike for example the Census Bureau tools focused only on Census programs. Review the start-up and usage orientation below or skip to the operations details below. Topics 01 Overview 02 Operations 07 Terms & Concepts 08 Metadata Files 09 Installation 10 Version Features 11 Terms of Use GeoStat Start-Up View - click graphic for larger view.  After installing GeoStat (see details below) on a Windows computer, the start-up view shown above appears. The grid shows a view of all cities included in the American Community Survey 2018 1 year estimates (ACS2018). There is one row for each city with subject matter arrayed in the columns. The subject matter list is determined by the user. Creating this display, you can now perform analytically oriented operations on these data and/or save the current grid as a dBase, Excel, delimited or fixed length field text file. Saved as a dBase file, the data may be integrated into a shapefile and added to a GIS project. Optionally create a thematic map view or perform geospatial analytics. Designed and supported for use with the ProximityOne CV XE GIS, the data/files created using GeoStat may be used with any GIS software that uses shapefiles. Selecting Geography Select the type of geography (summary level) using the Summary Level drop-down in the panel at the left of the grid. By selecting Congressional Districts then clicking the "Load from SumLev" See example. Scope of Geography -- 1 in rightmost columns denotes availability
Comparative Analysis Starting with view shown above, create a comparative analysis view for a set of cities as shown in the graphic below. - click graphic for larger view.  Multi-select areas of interest in the Geography Listbox and click the Run from Selections button at the top of control panel. In this example three cities are selected. The subject matter is the same as shown in the Subject Matter listbox and used in the previous example/graphic for cities. Scope of Subject Matter Use GeoStat to access any of the data for any of the geography in the ACS2017 or ACS2018 summary files. Level 2 users can access a broader array of data (many statistical programs) and access an extended set of features. Two introductory examples. You want a file that contains the most recent estimates of median household income and related items for all 116th congressional districts. With GeoStat running, follow these steps (below -- three clicks) to create that file. Get these data for any type of tabulation geography (summary level) for which the ACS 2018 1-year estimates are tabulated (see list). This version of GeoStat is focused on the American Community Survey 1-year 2017 and 2018 demographic-economic data. 02 Operations .. goto top 02.1 User Interface 02.2 Start-up 02.1.

The structure of the metadata file is fixed and must follow rules listed below. There are two metadata files included with the installer. A metadata file may contain up to 50 items. The metadata file must contain these fields: - Subject matter item field name; left-justified, cols 1-13 - Tabs in profile grid display; col 14 - Sequence number in metadata file of item to be used as divisor for percentages; cols 7-8; right-justified number - Field name and field attributes; cols 28-28; left-justified. .. field name must be 10 characters or less, no spaces or special characters. - Descriptive name for the item to be used in profile displays/files. Rules: The following section shows the default metadata file. The numbers that appear above the NAME row are not included in the file. They are used here to show field locations within the record (as enumerated above). NAME is required as the first field and must be the first row/record in the file.
