The Southern California Demographic Analysis Workshop will teach you to
extract, query, download, analyze, and map Census demographic data for
communities in Southern California (Note: Participants may use their own
community in exercises-all techniques are directly transferable to other
communities). Such data can provide grant writers, social researchers and
community planners with powerful tools for analyzing community changes.
This is a streamlined, "hands on" workshop where each participant works on
their own computer throughout the day. 

This workshop also provides an introduction to Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) which includes a discussion of GIS trends and common uses,
where to easily obtain mapping files, a demonstration of the map browser
ArcExplorer (included with your materials), hands on practice making basic
maps online and suggestions for making effective maps. See a detailed
description 

Materials include: A comprehensive workbook that includes the workshop
presentation, exercises, reference materials and a valuable Demographic
Data Resource CD. This CD includes useful GIS tools such as ArcExplorer and
several shapefiles for all communities in the United States. Materials also
include a 60 day trial version of ArcView 9.0, a leading GIS software. Also
included is the 2003 US Statistical Abstract which includes an extensive
selection of statistics for the United States, with selected data for
states, metropolitan areas and cities. 

This workshop will:


Teach you to extract, query, download, analyze, map and present 2000-1990
Census of Population and Housing and 2003 American Community Survey data
that includes Poverty, Race/Ethnicity, Age, Housing, Language and
Transportation;


Teach you to construct a Local Community Change Profile. The Profile is
comprised of key demographic variables and customized for Southern
California communities (participants may use their own community);


Teach you analytical, demographic and spatial analysis techniques including
commonly used mathematical formulas to transform raw data into compelling
information;


Teach you about Census geography including common problems such as working
with non-Census boundaries, analyzing change over time despite boundary
changes and how to use new mapping functionality recently built in to
American Factfinder; 


Provide you with exceptional materials that you can use immediately to
assist with social research and analysis.
