Examples

Here is an example of creating a report. First we choose the census year to use from the main reports page. We are using the 1930 census.

Then we select the geographies. We chose to select the geographies from the list. We selected “State” for geographic type, then selected Arizona and clicked “Add.”

We then went back and chose “County” for the geographic type. We chose Arizona for the state again, selected three counties by clicking and dragging, and pressed “Add.” We then pressed “Next.”

Alternately, we could have chosen to enter the geographies with FIPS codes. In that case, we would have pressed the “FIPS Codes” tab at the top of the page.

Then we selected the geographic type “State,” entered “04″ for Arizona.

Then we pressed “Add.”

We then went back, selected “County” for the geography type, and entered “04001,” “04003,” and “04005,” for Apache, Cochise, and Coconino counties. Note that the county codes are all preceded by 04, the state code.

We then pressed “Next.”

We were taken to the page where you select the subject of the report. We chose to use a report of pre-selected tables. We chose Age and pressed “Add,” then went back and chose Literacy too. Then we pressed “Show Result.”

This is the report that was created.
