<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, what is the best data source for US Census GIS-formatted data? Ideally, I’m looking for a source where I can extract data based on a geographic area such as block, block group, tract, county, or user-defined area. I need to report
population data based on custom buffers and identify feature data such as institutions, parks, etc. within those buffers. In the past, I’ve downloaded the data from Esri and extracted it myself, but it’s a lot of data and takes time to query. Additionally,
I’ve use BAO to run the population reports for the study area, but the maps from that service lack the detail we need. That’s why we create custom maps using the census data. Our sites can potentially be anywhere in the US. Suggestions?
