Unlocking the Census with GIS by Alan H Peters

Unlocking the Census with GIS by Alan H Peters

The U.S. Census provides billions of pieces of complex data about millions of exceptionally diverse people. ""Unlocking the Census with GIS"" describes how GIS can be used to better access, understand, manage, and analyze census data and census-related information and present it in a spatial format. Numerous maps, tables, sidebars, and other in-depth examples and explanations are provided to guide readers to an understanding of the census and its value to those using powerful GIS software tools. This easy-to-navigate book is a resource for urban planners, demographers, research professionals, educators, and students who work with census data.

Alan Peters is a professor and head of urban and regional planning at the University of Sydney and received his Ph.D. in urban planning from Rutgers University in 1989. Most of his research focuses on economic development, where he has used GIS to help analyze such issues as tax competition and the effectiveness of employment creation policy. Heather MacDonald is the course director in planning at the School of Built Environment at the University of Technology, Sydney. In 2009, MacDonald won prize for "best article in Journal of Planning History" from the American Society of City and Regional Planning History for her paper about the U.S. Census and planning.
