Re: [CTPP] American FactFinder 2

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0048_01CBF53A.4F82C6B0" Content-Language: en-us Does anybody on the list serve have anything good to say about American FactFinder2? I want something incredibly simple – total housing units for the United, and occupied housing units, in 2010. When I go into this clunky, counter-intuitive product, it either takes me to housing data from past census estimates, or wants to give me Census 2000 housing figures. Okay, so I decided to try for one of those simple 2010 profiles. You can get them for the states. But what about the country? Can’t find it. Am I supposed to add up the housing data for all 50 states? I don’t doubt there is an answer buried somewhere in this system, but I’m in a hurry (who isn’t, in the modern world) trying to develop some US comparison data for a report. And, as usual, AFF2 lets you down when you need it. Message to Census Bureau: please, please dump the useless thing and just put the data we need in the “old reliable” AFF.
