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.
