    <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>

            recommend a free mapping tool that will query and report USA

            used Esri BAO, which provides a wealth of info and nice
