Census Survey Explorer

Description

Discover U.S. Census Bureau surveys or censuses by filtering and searching by geography, frequency, topics, and subtopics. Created for the U.S. Census Bureau as a tool that allows users to filter, search, and locate surveys easily as part of my extension for the 2020 Civic Digital Fellowship.

Background

This project was created as part of my extension from the Civic Digital Fellowship by Coding it Forward (Summer Cohort '20). Designed as a reference tool as an alternative for the U.S. Census Bureau's List of All Surveys & Programs, this project first started as a data visualization project that transformed into its current version.

Features

• Use geography, frequency, topic, and subtopic dropdowns to filter through surveys
• Search by keyword or survey name for relevant surveys
• View support pages for more information and background on Census surveys
• Mobile-responsive layouts: use this tool wherever you want

Alternatives

• List of All Surveys & Programs: The foundation for this project
