Census Reporter is a new, free and powerful tool made by journalists to help journalists use census data in their stories. Building on it’s predecessor, census.IRE.org, which made Census data more easily available for download, this new project has developed an interface to help a wide range of journalists from shoe-leather types to journo nerds and app developers get the census data they need to give context to their stories, and also dig deeper to explore and analyze census data in new ways. This site tour will introduce the depth and potential use cases for this data set while showing off some of the new tools created to let you learn more about your beat, make meaningful comparisons across topics, populations and geographies, and expose patterns in hyper local, regional and national cultural/social/economic landscapes.
