Webinar: Accessing American Community Survey Block Group Data

The team at the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands shared this FREE opportunity that takes place on January 27th that will enable you to learn about accessing demographics data  about your state.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that generates estimates on social, economic, housing, and demographic topics. Data users can access these estimates down to our smallest level of geography, block groups, using American FactFinder or the ACS Summary File. This webinar will cover background information about the ACS, an explanation of the ACS Summary File, and a demonstration of accessing block group data using American FactFinder, the Summary File Retrieval Tool, DataFerrett, and FTP site.
