Description
The use of grid cells for data presentation and analysis has increased worldwide in recent years and offers several advantages over traditional small geographic units, including comparability, temporal stability, and uniformity. In this presentation, I discuss the Census Bureau Geography Division's Grids Project, which is focused on research and development leading to adoption of one or more grid systems for use in tabulating and presenting statistical data. The presentation will describe the advantages and known use cases for grids and the current state of the Census Grids Project. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to provide feedback regarding their own potential use cases for gridded data.
