This new report generator from the Missouri Census Data Center that uses the Summary File 1 was shared with the State Data Center (SDC) network today, and Nathan Erlbaum of NYSDOT is sharing with you via me.

Subject: New SF1 report applications from MCDC

The Missouri Census Data Center announces two new report modules for displaying data from the 2010 Summary File 1 data sets.   These modules are similar to ones we have developed for the American Community Survey  and 2000 census Summary File 3 data.     You access both of the applications using a shared front-end menu app that lets you choose up to 4 geographic areas.   The URL is http://mcdc1.missouri.edu/sf1_2010/sf1_2010_menu.html (there is a link to it at the top of the Quick Links navigation box which appears at the upper-right of most page on the mcdc web site.)   This works almost identically to the menu front end for the ACS profiles.     You select your geography and hit the “Generate Report” button.   This produces the profile report with columns of data for each of the chosen geographic areas.   At the top of the report page is a link to  “SF1 Detailed Tables Menu”.   The geography selected is passed through;  you now get to select your detailed tables before hitting the “Generate Report” button to view a report where each selected table is displayed for each selected geographic area.    

As with our other profile report products this one provides links to dynamically generated charts associated with the tables and has “drill-down” links that let you view the detailed table from the profile items were derived.   

See the MCDC home page ( http://mcdc.missouri.edu/  ) for more details and pictures with arrows.    The first line of the first picture is taken from a sample profile report and says  Note: Use this application with caution, it’s still in beta mode.
