A whole new world.... The new American FactFinder

The Census Bureau released the first round of data from the 2010 American Community Survey today. And it is available in the NEW American FactFinder! Check it out!

For assistance using the new AFF, here are some resources:

• AFF quick start tutorials: Good series of video tutorials for using the new AFF



• Tip sheet from the Census Bureau



• Recording of a presentation on the new AFF: From Michele Hayslett at UNC



• Classroom workbook with exercises

And don't worry, AFF won't go all Facebook on you. This new interface should be good for at least a year or two ;-)
