Searching for Demographic Block Groups

LandVision™ enables you to create custom searches with Demographic Data search filters. Your search results enable you to expand the uses of Demographic Data, as follows:

  • Create a tabular listing of your search results in the Results List (See Related Documents).

  • Save the Results List for future reference.

  • Export the Results List as a csv file to use in a spreadsheet.

  • Create the layer from the Results List and then style it using Thematic Mapper (See Related Documents).

Note: Your search results dynamically update as you pan, zoom in or zoom out of the map.

  1. Click the search tab from the Main Toolbar. The Search Filter window appears.

  2. Select Demographics from the Search drop-down list. The window displays nine categories of Demographic Data search filters (See below for definitions).

  3. Select your desired search filter criteria.

  4. Click OK to run your Demographic Data search. Your search results appear on the map as Block Groups and are counted in the Search Results box.

    Tip: Use the Search Filter Bar to quickly adjust your search filter criteria. It is below the Main Toolbar. Hover over a tab such as Income, to open a drip-down list with search filter criteria. An inactive filter becomes active when you click on criteria, or click the filter check box.

  5. Click on any Block Group to view its Demographic Data. The Demographic Data window opens.

  6. Click the Command button for a variety of Demographic Data options (See Commands Menu Options below for more information).

The LandVision™ Demographic Data search filter categories are Location, Population, Race & Ethnicity, Households, Housing Units, Income, Age, Spending, and Employment.

Note: To toggle off or on search criteria, click the check box. To set the values for some criteria, click and drag either end of the slider.
