Quick Guides - Searching Places and Data
To access DataPlace's rich data resources, start by selecting a location, which can be the entire nation, or an individual state, metropolitan area, county, or city. DataPlace also contains data for small geographic areas such as census tracts and zip codes.

Select a location by searching or browsing.

Searching
You can quickly find a location by typing the name of a location in the search box. Enter the name of a geographic area, such as a city or a town, or a zip code number.

As you type in the search box, a list of areas pops up beneath the search box. DataPlace provides you with a list of all locations that match the letters as you type them, ranked in order of population. Continue typing into the search box, or scroll down the list and click on the desired location.

DataPlace distinguishes between cities and their metropolitan areas by including the label "metro" in the names of metropolitan areas.

Browsing
The second way you can select a location in DataPlace is by browsing. Click on the "Browse Places" link located immediately beneath the search box at the top of the Home Page. Or, click on the drop-down arrow to the right of this link. A pop-up box will appear to start the browsing process, which starts from the largest geographic areas and allows you to drill down from there.

Select the entire nation by clicking on "Choose USA." If you're interested in a smaller geographic area, simply click on the appropriate link.
