DATA GEM: How to Access, Map, and Compare Detailed Veteran Data on Income, Housing, Employment, Business-Ownership, and More!
Description
Did you know the Census Bureau collects and aggregates detailed demographic, social, economic, and even business ownership data about our veteran population? These data are critical to organizations that offer support and services to our veterans. Using data.census.gov, learn how to access our tables that contain veteran data, including the Veteran Profile from the American Community Survey and the veteran business ownership data from the Annual Business Survey. Finally, learn how to visually compare (map) a statistic across an area, discovering why you may want to use an estimate versus percent.
