[Socialexplorer.com] - good source of demographic data. Want to download the following data:

  • SE:T2. Population Density
  • SE:T3. Total land area
  • SE:T33. Employment Status for total population 16 and over - want %
  • SE:T49. Industry by Occupation - want %
  • SE:T155. Mean Household income of quintiles
  • SE:T99. House Heating Fuel - want electricity

Less useful:

  • SE:T57. Median household income
  • SE:T59. Average household income
  • SE:T56. Household income (breaks into fine-grained chunks) - want %

Outputs large TSV with many empty columns (depending on selections)

Would be useful:

  • Census statistical abstract tables 988-990 (Housing Unit Attributes)
  • Housing attribute data available at Geography library in McCone
  • FEMA HAZUS Database - need to pick up CD of shapefiles
