In this section, you will learn to find a census tract code based on an address and examine any census tract/neighborhood using iVDA with the "Base" project.  Here we make use of census tracts as a geographic proxy for neighborhoods.

We cover some navigation fundamentals like zooming and using the searchbar.

See related interactive table.

 

iVDA is one part of a broader VDA GIS resource framework.  See more about VDA GIS.

 

In the iVDA frame below, enter an address in the searchbar and press enter.

.. enter "9451 N 84th St, Scottsdale, AZ 85258" not case sensitive, no quotes

In the Legend Panel at the left of the Map Window, scroll down to "Tracts Code" layer and check on.

.. tract codes appear in the Map Window.

Scroll further down to "Tracts %CVAP ACS22" layer and check on; click + expanding the intervals view.

.. it shows patterns of %CVAP and labeled with census tract code.

 

Click the blue marker and see the census tract highlights in the map

.. and a demographic profile is displayed in the lower left.
