Subject: [gislist] Inter-census demographic data
Good morning,
I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on demographic databases
such as Claritas and Spatial Insights. We use a lot of Census-style
data at tract level and smaller. The Census ACS won't have this data
between censuses at such a small level available for several more
years. There are lots of Claritas-style products available but there
is a lot of debate as to how accurate they are and if they should be
used at all. Of particular concern to us is the failure of these data
sets to adjust to trend changes, like spikes in crime or building
booms that reverse population decline, but may not be picked up in
demographic projection.
Any thoughts? Suggestions on a particular brand?
