Do you want basic information on population and housing in your community? Do you work in childhood development, youth outreach, senior advocacy, or emergency preparedness and response? ArcGIS Living Atlas has ready-to-use feature layers designed specifically for you!
Last December, we updated 78 Living Atlas layers containing ACS data within 48 hours of Census releasing the 2014-2018 values. These layers are all grouped by topic, such as health insurance, internet access, and living arrangements. Recently, we released some new layers grouped by industry or user persona rather than by topic, that include the most essential attributes for specific use-cases. Our four industry-specific layers include:
You can answer questions such as
- Where are seniors who are uninsured?
- Where are seniors who don’t have a computer?
- Where are seniors who live alone?
all from one layer – Context for Senior Well-Being. We’ve assembled key attributes that span across all topics into layers that are designed with you in mind. Each of these new layers has dozens of attributes that are of interest to a specific industry. All ACS layers in Living Atlas can be found in this ArcGIS Online Content Group.
To read more about the benefits of these layers, see this ArcGIS blog post.
