Using American FactFinder and Data Ferrett Ronald Campbell The Orange County Register 0:00

Is the new AFF an evil plot? 00:30

Well, no: A long-needed change  “Legacy FactFinder” (launched ) Built for Census geeks Grew over time; breadth, quality of data varies by topic  FactFinder 2 (launched January 2011) More carefully designed But poorly launched – and frustrating for longtime users 1:16

Demo of legacy FactFinder 1:44

Legacy FactFinder is like a box of chocolates … 4:18

FactFinder 2 is already better  Topics People  Counts, age & sex, income, etc. Housing  Counts, occupancy, mortgage & rent Datasets  Geography States, counties, places Address search 4:28

In some respects it’s way better  User can choose among many results.  Search is interactive and nearly instant.  And the maps are far better than anything delivered by Legacy FactFinder. 5:20

Demo of FactFinder 2 5:45

But (you knew there would be a but …)  Why is it so hard to get data for all the places in a single county?  Why can’t I get a profile for my city on QuickStart?  Why is the transition taking so long?  Why can’t I export a map as a shapefile or KML? 23:00

For the truly geeky: Data Ferrett! 23:57

Nearly two dozen databases  Decennial Census  American Community Survey  Current Population Survey  Consumer Expenditure Survey  National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey  Survey of Income and Program Participation … and many more 24:30

And it comes in many flavors!  Aggregate  Microdata  Time series  Longitudinal 25:09
