Pull American Community Survey, Decennial Census, population estimates, LEHD jobs and migration flows straight into Shapefile, File Geodatabase, KML or CSV, with boundaries attached. Analyze them in the browser. Print them to a map layout. No R, no Python, no API wrangling.

Download

Pick a year, a geography and the variables you need. Census Studio fetches the estimates, the margins of error and the TIGER boundaries and hands you one clean layer.

Analyze

Join ACS data to your own polygons, run Getis-Ord hot spot analysis, compare two time periods with boundary crosswalks, aggregate to any target, normalize with proper MOE propagation, filter by reliability.
