Tracking Language Use and the Decennial Census
Since 1790, the decennial census has been arguably the single most important U.S. geographic-demographic-economic statistical data resource. Data from these decennial censuses are in daily widespread use for analysis and decision-making. The companion TIGER/Line digital map database is the underlying geographic database enabling most Web browser maps. The TIGER data helped spawn the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and visual data analysis. This section illustrates use of the New York Times Chronicle tool to track language use relating to the decennial census. The Chronicle tool can be used to visualize language use in the New York Times news coverage throughout its history. The following graphics show results of using the Chronicle tool. There are additional features of the tool not shown here, notably lists of accessible NYT stories. Click graphics for larger view.
