How do I navigate between the different pages?

Here are some tips to help you navigate between the different pages on the site after you have already run a search:

  • Navigation Options for “All,” “Tables,” “Maps,” “Charts,” “Profiles” and “Pages”: The site features six tabs at the top that allow you to navigate between different types of search results: All, Tables, Maps, Charts, Profiles, or Pages.
  • Flexible Screen Layout: Most pages of data.census.gov provide flexibility to determine the layout through expandable and collapsible side panels by clicking the “Filters” and “Results” buttons.

o   Expand the Filters panel when you want to view or edit your search criteria.
Expand the Results panel when you want to browse table results or select a new table.

o   Collapse the Filters/Results panels when you want to see more of the table, map, or chart across your screen

  • Clear a Search: Click the U.S. Census Bureau logo in the upper left to clear your search and start fresh from the landing page.
  • Edit a Search:

o   Filters with a lock icon next to them are powered by the text you entered in the single search bar. Edit the text in the single search bar and press enter to update your search as needed.

o   Filters with an “x” means they were powered by a filter check box you selected. Click the “x” next to any filters you would like to remove, or add more filters using the options in the filter panel.

  • Browse Long Lists of Results: The site provides the first 10 results by default, and includes functionality to page through the remaining results from your search. You may increase the number of results provided on each page to 25 or 50, allowing you to browse a long list of results in fewer clicks.
  • Option to Browse List of Table Results Across Full Screen: The site often shows a table or map as you are browsing through the list of results. If you would prefer to browse a long list of table titles across your full screen before viewing a table, click the “View All Tables” button on the All Results page.

Please note: Users may experience inconsistencies when trying to use the back or forward buttons provided in the browser. Because of this, we recommend using the navigation pathways shown above instead of the browser’s back button.
