Creating a report consists of three steps: selecting geographies, selecting tables, and viewing/downloading your results. Reports allow you to quickly view and export one or thousands of variables across multiple geographies.
Step 1: Select Geographies
- Navigate to the Tables page.
- Select the survey you’re interested in.
- Click Begin Report next to the survey year you want to explore.
- Choose a Geography Type from the dropdown menu (e.g., nation, state, or county).
- Select one or more geographic areas and click Add.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed. You can mix different geography types (such as nation, county, and census tract) within a single report.
- Click Proceed to Tables.
Step 2: Select Tables
- Choose a Dataset.
- For certain surveys, we provide both the original dataset and a preprocessed dataset with the most popular variables.
- Select one or more tables and click Add.
- Click Show Results.
Step 3: View & Download Results
Once your report is generated, you can view, analyze, and download the data in various formats.

Note: You may also use Premade reports which are made from pre-selected tables that relate to a particular topic. These reports are a great way to get started. You can then switch back to Tables List to customize table selections. |
