Does the #USCensus block IPs? I've been trying to use their WMS services for the past hour, and it's been performing poorly. Though I'd go to their site to check if there were a better URL to use, and got a blanket "Access Denied" message!

The {lehdr} #rstats 📦 is designed to “query Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) US workplace/residential association and origin-destination flat files and optionally aggregate Census block-level data to block group, tract, county, or state.” By Jamaal Green & others

The #GOP has used #computers and #USCensus data to #gerrymander districts in their favor since 2003 when they got a #Republican in power by literally drawing a #Pennsylvania district of a US House incumbent #Democrat around his house

I designed a little #sticker celebrating one of my favorite #USCensus products: TIGER. The official logo is already super cool, and so I just added some type. The print arrived today and it's pretty neat. I may tweak the size and shape and try a different sticker vendor for v2, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out.

The issue with the upcoming #USCensus regarding the citizenship question is overblown.

There are only *two* things that *must* be answered on the census form: The physical address in question (which is usually pre-filled), and the number of alive & born humans in the address on April 1st.

All other questions are optional.
