The Local Area Demographic Analysis (LADA) Workshop is designed to help human service providers, grant writers, researchers or anyone that would like to easily look up and analyze demographic characteristics such as race, income, age, language, transportation, employment and housing. This is a small, hands on workshop that will teach you to analyze, extract and present 2000/1990 Census (focusing on long form SF3 data), American Community Survey and Census Supplemental information.

In addition to learning demographic analysis methods, participants construct a 1990-2000 Community Change Profile for Philadelphia and Philadelphia Census tracts focusing on twenty demographic variables, learn how to work with non-Census geographic boundaries and boundary changes over time, key elements of a strong demographic analysis, transforming raw data into information and the visual representation of data. While this particular workshop will focus on Philadelphia, the techniques presented in this workshop will be applicable to ANY other location.

Space is limited to 16 participants, so sign up soon!
