Data Overview:

• This dashboard analyzes individual household records from the Census
• Each record represents one person with their characteristics
• Use weights to get population estimates, or unweighted for raw counts

• Filter by specific Austin-area locations instead of PUMA codes
• Filter by Counties to focus on specific regions
• Leave blank to analyze all areas in the dataset
• You can also analyze Location and County as variables in the table

Demographic Filtering:

• Check 'Parents with Children 0-12 Only' to focus on adults with young children
• Check 'Undergraduates Only' to focus on students attending undergraduate programs
• Check 'Not Enrolled in College Only' to focus on people not currently in college

Variable Selection & Pivot Analysis:

• Check variables to include in your summary table
• Use preset buttons: Education, Parent, or All variables
• Pivot Mode: Select a 'Group By Variable' to create cross-tabulation
• Example: Group by 'Has Child 0-12' to see how many employed people have children vs. don't
