1 Lesson 2 - Analyzing Census Data Using USA Overview: Students will learn how to navigate USA Demographics for Schools. Students will apply their learning to develop a demographic profile of their community. The city of Hibbing is the example used in this lesson, but any city may be used. The tool can be applied to the investigation of a variety of topics and areas of the world. Objective: Students will be able to: Navigate ArcGIS as a geospatial technology tool including: zooming in/out, finding places, changing basemaps and exploring data layers Investigate demographic data Compare demographic data for two communities Develop a demographic profile of your community Step 1: Open USA Demographics For Schools 1. To open USA Demographics For Schools click on the link above. The application opens with a view of the world with USA Pop Density data layer active. 2. This app is different from ArcGIS Online explored in Ex 1-3. Only USA Demographic data is available. There is no Find option No detail air photos 3. This app works on PCs with Windows Xp,7 & 8, MACs, Chromebooks, ipads, Android tablets, iphones, and Android phones.

2 Step 2: Map Appearance and Features 1. Draw, Bookmarks & Measuring features - These features will not be covered in this lesson. 3. Zoom in/out - This feature is the same as ArcGIS Online. Scale will change as you zoom in/out. The inset map will show your location. 2. Inset Map - Click on the arrow to open or close. 4. Scale - Values change as you zoom in/out 5. Latitude/Longitude - As you scroll over the map the latitude / longitude coordinates change. Step 3: Legend, Layer List and Basemap Gallery 1. Click on Legend box and the active Layer s legend appears with State, County, Tract or Block Group data. 2. Click on Layer List box and the list of available layers appear with the active Layer checked. 3. Click on Basemap Gallery box and the list of Basemaps appears. Later in the lesson you will select Streets because it has the best description of city and street names. 4. Click the X to close Basemaps Gallery.

3 Step 4: Open Legend and Click on a State 1. Click on Legend box and the USA Pop Density Legend appears. At this level, the data is summarized by the State boundary file. 3. Click on other states to compare their Pop Density with Minnesota s data. 2. Click on a state and a summary of that state s Pop Density appears. Step 5: Zoom in on USA and Click on your County 1. Zoom in on the lower 48 states. 3. Click on a county and a summary of that state s Pop Density appears. 4. Click on other counties to compare their Pop Density with your county s data. 2. At this level USA Pop Density data is summarized by the County boundary file.

4 Step 6: Compare other areas of USA 1. At this level County USA Pop Density data is presented 2. Move the USA map file around so you can see data summaries for counties in different regions. 3. Data is not summarized by City, so you need to know the county surrounding major cities: Chicago is in Cook County, Miami is in Dade County.. Step 7: Zoom in on Minnesota & Hibbing 2. This application does not have a Find option. You must look for Hibbing. 3. Click on Hibbing and a report will open. At this level the report summarizes Pop Density by Census Tracts. 4. At this scale it is hard to see boundary of the Census Tract. 1. At this level USA Pop Density data is summarized by the Census Tract boundary file. 5. You need to zoom in closer.

5 Step 8: Zoom in on Hibbing (Block Groups) 1. This is the closest you can view the map. Click on a portion of the city. At this level Block Group data is presented. 2. The Block Group files open but it is hard to identify areas of the city. Street names would help. 1. At this level USA Pop Density data is summarized by the Census Block Group boundary file. 3. Adding a street file is a multi-step process. Step 9: Open Layer List and Explore the Data 1. Click on Layer List and the list appears with USA Pop Density checked. 2. Other data layers are un-checked.

6 Step 10: Open Block Groups Legend 1. The check mark in front of USA Pop Density indicates that it is the open layer. A legend is not open. To open a legend follow steps below. 2. Click on the Persons per square mile and a sub list of all boundary files available appears. 3. The previous slides indicated that the data at this level is summarized by Block Groups. Click on the Block Groups name and the legend appears. Step 11: Open Transparency Option 1. The data layer covers the background basemap. To see the basemap the layer must be made transparent. 2. With the mouse, Hover over the down arrow and a list appears. 3. Click on Transparency You can see the basemap. The National Geographic map is not very helpful. Streets would be more helpful. 4. Move the slide arrow to 50% Transparency.

7 Step 12: Open Basemaps - Select Streets 1. Click on Basemap Gallery and the standard set of Basemaps appears. 3. Street names help find your school or home. 2. Click on Streets and it appears on the map. If you want Streets to appear on other data layers you must change the transparency on that layer. Step 13: Compare Data Reports to Legend 1. Click on other locations in Hibbing and a new Block Group Report will open. 2. Compare the Block Groups report to Pop Density, Block Group legend classes.

8 Step 14: Open USA Diversity Index 1. Close USA Pop Density. Click on the Box. This unchecks the layer and removes the map. 3. Click on a location. 4. A Report opens with a pie chart. 5. Hover over a pie slice and the detail data category appears. 2. Click on USA Diversity Index. The box is checked and the map appears. To see the legend: Click on Diversity Index and then Block Groups. This opens the legend. Step 15: Zoom out to see Greater Diversity 1. Click on the zoom out to see areas with greater diversity. 2. Tracts with greater diversity will have a different racial profile. More Native Americans are in reservations and greater numbers of Blacks and Hispanics are in St. Paul/Minneapolis.

9 Step 16: Click on Areas with More Diversity 1. As example, Click on a Tract in a reservation and the pie chart shows the higher percent Native American. 2. Hover over each of the pie slices and the exact percentage of minority population appears. Step 17: Open Layer: USA Pop Aged 65+ Yrs 1. Follow the process in Step 14: Click on the box in front of USA Diversity Index. This removes the map. 3. In the next slide, click on Legend Option to close the Layer List. 2. Click on USA Pop Aged 65+ Yrs layer and click on Tracts layer to open the legend.

10 Step 18: Open Legend: USA Pop Aged 65+ Yrs 1. Click on Legend to open USA Pop Aged 65+ Yrs Legend by Tracts 2. This process is quicker. Step 19: Open Layer: USA Pop Aged 0-18 Yrs 1. Follow process in Step 14: Close the USA Pop Aged 65+ Yrs 2. Click on USA Pop Aged 0-18 Yrs layer. 3. Click on the Legend option and based on the scale, USA Pop Aged 0-18 Yrs data is summarized by Tract appears.

11 Step 20: Compare Demographic Data USA Median Age USA Pop Aged 0-18 Yrs USA Diversity Index USA Pop Aged 65 + Yrs Step 21: Save Your Maps as Image Files To save your map: On an ipad hold down the main button on the top of the ipad and press the power button. This saves the screen as a jpg file. On a MAC, center your image and hold down the Shift - Crtl & #4 key simultaneously. Beginning in the upper left hand corner of the map window, drag a box to the lower right hand corner of the map. The image is saved on the MAC desktop. On a Desktop PC, click on the Prt/Scr button or click Ctrl, Prt/Scr buttons at the same time on a Laptop. This will copy the screen to the Windows clipboard. To save the image, open Paint program. To edit, paste the image or Right Click on the Mouse and Paste. Students can add a title or clip off unwanted portions. To save the image, select file format as a JPG. Save your file using the file name protocol and location indicated by your teacher and/or print, as your teacher directs.

12 Step 22: Map Data for Your Community Create a map that highlights the data for your community. To do this, capture an image of a map showing your community with charts of data that makes your community unique. Population Density of a community Diversity of a community Step 23: Check Out Other Census Resources American Fact Finder ESRI Demographic Atlas USA S Diversity news/nation/2014/10/21/diversit y-map/ /
