Example Data Use
 

Thematic Mapping

Use our demographic data to produce choropleth maps showing the spatial distribution & pattern of various demographic indicators. Our data can be seamlessly joined to zip code GIS boundary files provided by the Census Bureau.


Rank Zip codes based on Indicators

- Sort our data to find zip codes with the highest population growth. Then, visualize the results via a map or chart.
- Build your own custom ranking. For example, find places with both Low taxes and high Incomes to determine where you can make more money and pay less in taxes to make the most of your earnings.
- Determine zip codes that might be good for young people. Use our Age Groups data to find zip codes that skew young and combine it with the Percent Single to determine where young people might find other young people.


Visualize data in Charts and Graphs

- Use our commute time & commute mode data to study the how commuters travel to work and how long it takes to do so by creating histogram charts to analyze the distribution of the data.
- Examine the relationship between income and education in a Regression analysis in order to create scatterplots for visual comparison.

About our Data
 

Our zip code database is based on a ZCTA (Zip code tabulation area). ZCTAs are areal representations of Zip code postal routes, which are actually a series of roads and addresses. Polygonizing Zip codes into regions affords the opportunity to enumerate statistical data at a more granular level in many cases than other geographic units recognized by the Census Bureau. Enjoy our clean & usable data in your analyses today.
