Not directly related to Todd's note above but I have given up on data.census.gov (and AFF before that) and use the APIs available from the CB pretty extensively. Attached is some R code that you might found useful to call the datasets with APIs (there are 412 datasets available), and get the required tables with an example. 

Hope this helps.

Subject:  Speaking with Users of Census Data

 

Hello!

I’m leading a design team that is helping the Census Bureau to improve the user experience for finding and downloading Census data.  The vision is to discover and create more ideal processes/tools in a way that’s informed by the experience and needs of real users.

To inform this effort, we’re setting up qualitative interviews with regular users of Census data -- people like you. 

Would you be willing to talk with me and my team to share your experience about finding and accessing Census data? We’re planning a redesign over the coming year that will be based on what we learn from this field research.  We will prototype designs for user-centered processes/webpages, which we will want to bounce off real users.  Building a pool of relevant volunteers will help drive these test & learn cycles.

If you’d like to volunteer your perspective, please email me at adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com

Please include your name, your preferred contact information, and a brief summary of your role or affiliation.  I’ll save that information to a spreadsheet and reach back out to the volunteers as we move forward.  We will be speaking with small groups of about 1-5 people at a time.

Additionally, is there anyone else in your network who you think we should be talking to?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.  We really appreciate it.

Looking forward >
