I must admit that every time I sit down and try to bolster my skills with
the new FactFinder I find myself easily getting distracted and never
getting anything accomplished. However, someday I hope to make it through
all the tutorials and become as proficient with the new FactFinder as I am
with the legacy version.
Although it is not quite FactFinder, some colleagues turned me on to an
interactive map done by the NY Times where you can begin to pull numbers
from the 2010 Census. In less than 3 minutes and without going through
any tutorials I was able to view the tract data for my home tract. Here
is the link.
