Census Reporter

Here are three ways to get to census data. Most would agree that American FactFinder is rather complex and not easy to use. Then we have CensusReporter (still in beta) - which hopefully will be much easier to navigate. Finally there is Social Explorer - my favorite: very easy to use, map interface, all census data for all times. The free edition is nice, but the professional version includes much more data (luckily Westfield State has a subscription via the library). Otherwise: get yourself a free 30-day trial and scrape the data!
