<p>Jim,</p>
<p>Census data can be a pain but once you have been through the loop
a few times it becomes much easier. <br>
</p>
<p>I personally use QGIS (free / open source) but the following
should easily work with standard ESRI products too.<br>
</p>
<p>Get block level census data downloads directly at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://factfinder.census.gov">https://factfinder.census.gov</a></p>
<ul>
<li>select "Advanced Search" & press "Show me all"</li>
<li>select "Geographies", select the radio button "all geographic
types"</li>
<li>Block is 100. The panel will look like this:<br>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><img src="cid:part1.111C9CBD.D5745A6A@clbcm.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>From there you can download table data at the block level. </li>
<li>To map you may need a block shape file: (Tiger puts these out)</li>
<ul>
<li><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2010&layergroup=Blocks">https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2010&layergroup=Blocks</a><br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Join the above data download to the shape file by block. </li>
</ul>
Note block level data is the most granular level reported, and not
much is reported at that deep a level. Move up to "block group" for
much more. <br>
<br>
For block level data I strongly recommend you start out the process
by looking at the <b>actual questionnaire</b>:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/2010questionnaire.pdf">https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/2010questionnaire.pdf</a> That will
give you a very quick read on what is available (obviously, only
aggregate data for the whole block is reported, no personally
identifiable information. Keep in mind too, if there are too few
individuals in a block to risk privacy infringement, they will not
report at that level.) You only get block level data every 10 years
because <b>its not a sample </b>- they strive to get information
on EVERY person living in that block. Between decades they only work
on samples, report only at the block group level or greater, and the
data is much richer. <br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Can anyone
recommend a free mapping tool that will query and report USA
Census data using a user-defined buffer? In the past we’ve
used Esri BAO, which provides a wealth of info and nice
output, but we’ve since let our subscription lapse and I’m
looking for a somewhat comparable tool. We’re specifically
interested in USA household data, which I think is reported
by census block. Please provide recommendations. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
