CensusScope

CensusScope is an easy-to-use tool for investigating U.S. demographic trends, brought to you by the Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN) at the University of Michigan. With eye-catching graphics and exportable trend data, CensusScope is designed for both generalists and specialists.

CHARTS & TRENDS

• For States, Metro Areas, and Counties.
• Census and Trend Data going back to 2000, 1990, 1980, and sometimes even further, on a growing list of topics, including population growth, population by race, age structure, family structure, and income.
• Multirace Profiles: With hundreds of possible combinations, Census 2000 multiracial data is often inscrutable. Our charts and rankings can help (see the U.S. Multiracial Profile ).

MAPS

• Many of the most important social trends affecting America have a strongly regional flavor. Figure out where you fit in with demographic maps showing where the elderly predominate (think: the Great Plains), where the nuclear family is (and isn't) the norm, and how "diversity" breaks down regionally.

​RANKINGS

• State and county-level rankings by population growth, race, educational attainment, language, gender, and more.
• Rankings by metropolitan areas now available.

​SEGREGATION

• Segregation Exposure and Dissimilarity Measures for 1246 individual US cities with population exceeding 25,000 and for all metropolitan areas, based on single and multiple race populations as identified in Census 2000.
