“Social Explorer just works better for me than what the Census Bureau has put forth with their version of American FactFinder. I’ve always liked looking at the maps, seeing the counties, and being able to highlight things and see different key trends in the data that’s out there.”
Mark Scott, Data Librarian, Lehigh University
“I could spend hours and hours on American FactFinder and not get nearly the same level that I could get from Social Explorer in less than an hour. Best, most accessible data source for comprehensive data on demographics and population.”
Stefan Heisler, Community Development, City of Rancho Cordova, CA
