SmartGirl Technologies Offers Workshops on Demographic Analysis

by SmartGirl Technologies
The Local Area Demographic Analysis (LADA) Workshop will help human service providers, grant writers, researchers or anyone that would like to easily look up and analyze demographic characteristics such as race, income, age, language, transportation, employment and housing.
This small, hands-on workshop will teach participants to analyze, extract and present 2000/1990 Census data, focusing on long form SF3 data; American Community Survey; and Census Supplemental information.
In addition to learning demographic analysis methods, participants construct a 1990-2000 Community Change Profile for Washington DC and DC Census tracts focusing on twenty demographic variables, learn how to work with non-Census geographic boundaries and boundary changes over time, key elements of a strong demographic analysis, transforming raw data into information and the visual representation of data.
While this particular workshop will focus on DC, the techniques presented in this workshop will be applicable to ANY other location.
Participants will pay a workshop fee of $215 if they register online at the SmartGirl website.
