Using American Community Survey to Understand Your Community

Figure 7 shows the result of selecting our preferred table: the map of our county (in this example, Patrick County in Virginia) at the census block group level. The map shows the default row from this table or the total number of individuals living in a given census block group. Our next step is to change our variable selection and map variable from this table, which shows the total number of children and youth who may have trouble accessing online education.
