Social Explorer (US Demography)
SOCIAL EXPLORER aims to facilitate demographic and social scientific research in a variety of contexts. Social Explorer's main goal is to visually display the demographic change that has occurred in the U.S. since 1790 through the present, for the country over all down to the level of the county. For more recent years, one can display areas as small as your own neighborhood. Certain cities may even be displayed as far back as 1910. To do this, designers have developed a collection of interactive demographic maps that can be viewed, queried and manipulated.
The NU community now has access to professional-grade research and mapping tools that fit a variety of needs, as well as technical support and access to new data and features as they become available. Primary functions include Demographic Data Analysis, Interactive Map/Report Design and Software Development.
