Power of Combining Maps with Data


Accessing & Using Geographic-Demographic-Economic Data

Join us in the weekly web sessions where we review wide-ranging topics on
  • current and trending geographic-demographic-economic characteristics
  • tools to access & use demographic-economic data with other data
  • using decision-making information & developing insights

One-hour Data web sessions are conducted by Warren Glimpse.
  • Tuesdays 3:00 pm ET; Accessing & Using Demographic-Economic Data
  • Wednesdays 3:00 pm ET; Selected sociometric topics varying by week
      for leaders, decision-makers, policy-makers, stakeholders
        needing to understand demographic-economic change
      for learners & researchers regarding access to and use of tools and data
        to analyze demographic-economic characteristics & change
  • Thursdays 3:00 pm ET; GeoSpatial Analytics
      Visual Data Analytics (VDA) Training & Support
  • gain insights into information change, patterns that might affect you
  • see connectivity details below

Who benefits? Anyone who is directly or indirectly engaged in accessing/using geographic, demographic, economic data for management, analysis or decision-making. While we cover many technical details, managers and leaders benefit from understanding what is possible even though perhaps not engaged in daily data development or analytics. Topics are heavily cross-related. The thread of small area demographics runs throughout the sessions, even though the main topic might be on congressional districts or cities/counties. The sessions provide a forum for problem-solving and continuity not found elsewhere.

E-mail us or call (888-364-7656) with questions/help.

ProximityOne develops and uses tools and data to provide fact-based, independent, non-partisan decision-making information to stakeholders on a wide range topics/issues. We focus on accessing, modeling and analyzing geographic, demographic and economic data to better understand recent trends and project future demographic-economic characteristics.

Itemset1 in Review -- making ACS data profile data more useable
The "Itemset1" items are directly derived from the ACS data profiles DP2 (SXXX), DP3 (EXXX), DP4 (HXXX)
and DP5 (DXXX) files where XXX is the reference to the corresponding number in the Census DP files.
Itemset1 data are:
  • a subset of the DP files which feature key DP items and can be directly used in shapefiles.
  • produced annually normally using the ACS 5-year data.
  • available for areas having data profiles produced.
  • mostly available for tracts and higher level geography, but not block groups.
  • prepared for Congressional Communities using a block/tract algorithm.
See the full list of roughly 250 items.

Discussion
End of Session

10.07.25. Post session additions:

Topic: AI Summary:
Social Media Content Strategy Update
discussed updates to their social media content, including new posts about ACS data, bill increments, and county changes. reviewed a recent post about the 118th Congress and discussed plans to update content for upcoming sessions. shared insights from a meeting with his social media person, who recommended focusing on YouTube Shorts over platforms like Instagram and TikTok due to their restrictive algorithms and policies. expressed interest in creating more YouTube content but noted the time required for development.

Demographic Data and Projection Updates
presented updated demographic data and projections, including new 2024 ACS data and projections through 2030. demonstrated changes in population growth patterns, particularly in Kaufman County, where births have flattened since 2025. also showed new features in the application, including U.S. summary data and the ability to copy data to Excel, though the latter still needs fixing. mentioned that the name of the section had been changed from "Situation and Outlook Estimates and Projections," but asked him to change it back.

SOEP Application Demonstration Overview
demonstrated a new application called SOEP, which stands for Situation & Outlook Estimates & Projections. showed how to install and use the application, highlighting its interactive map and various views. mentioned that while the application is ready for use, some information is still incomplete, such as details of operation and methodology. also noted that the application currently only provides county-level data, and considering changing this to a different geographic level.

Data Tools and Engagement Strategies
discussed a tool that data journalists would find useful, but noted that it was currently not functioning properly. also talked about the potential of using attention-grabbing titles, like "Snakes on a Plane," to increase engagement with CRS reports. mentioned that he would continue working on the centenarians project, which involves census data.

Centenarians
discussed the concentration of centenarians in North Dakota and South Dakota, noting that Florida has a higher number due to people moving there later in life.

Using VDAGIS to Promote Community Business Growth
See related section
By establishing areas that promote economic development, qualified entities can encourage and sustain business growth in their communities. Federal programs available to facilitate such investment and growth are the Opportunity Zones and HUBZones.

The following map illustrates how VDAGIS tools can be used to examine qualified areas in the Atlanta region. The view shows block groups. Block group areas may be of interest to applicants and investors in understanding and documenting demographic-economic characteristics.



Opportunity Zones
An Opportunity Zone is an economically distressed area where new investments may be eligible for certain tax benefits. There are 8,764 Opportunity Zones spread throughout the 50 states, DC and five U.S. territories.

HUBZones
The HUBZone program creates incentives (called "preferences") for federal agencies to purchase goods and services from businesses that operate and employ people in areas designated as HUBZones. The acronym HUB stands for "Historically Underutilized Business," and a HUBZone is a historically underdeveloped business zone that meets one or more of five defined criteria. HUBZones are mainly areas that are Qualified Census Tracts.

Itemset1 in Review -- making ACS data profile data more useable
The "Itemset1" items are directly derived from the ACS data profiles DP2 (SXXX), DP3 (EXXX), DP4 (HXXX)
and DP5 (DXXX) files where XXX is the reference to the corresponding number in the Census DP files.
Itemset1 data are:
  • a subset of the DP files which feature key DP items and can be directly used in shapefiles.
  • produced annually normally using the ACS 5-year data.
  • available for areas having data profiles produced.
  • mostly available for tracts and higher level geography, but not block groups.
  • prepared for Congressional Communities using a block/tract algorithm.
See the full list of roughly 250 items.

Two hands-on iVDA exercises

• To map total population by California tract use https://proximityone.com/ivda.htm
.. position map on CA
.. turn off CBSA layer
.. turn on Tracts Code
.. turn on Tracts Boundary
.. click on Tracts Code in Legend Panel
.. click Tools>Layer Editor
> Select Total Population
> Set & close
The map should look as shown. Zoom to view of interest.

• Is there a way to make a table of CA population by census tract?
Proceed as before then
.. in legend panel click Tracts Boundary layer on
.. click query/table (below map and to right)
.. grid appears below map;
> Key in stusps='CA' in SQLFilter
> Key in GEOID ASC in Sort
.. click query
View appears as shown below (D001 is the same as total population).
