Many of the maps created by Syracuse Community Geography rely on census data from the US Census Bureau. Data from decennial censuses and the annual American Community Survey are extremely important sources of information for community-based mapping because they provide the most comprehensive picture of a community’s demographic and socioeconomic composition. Census.gov provides fact sheets for towns, cities, counties, and states, and extensive datasets for download. Below are some useful Census Geography links:
