<p class="MsoNormal">Those of you who’ve had a hard time using the previous version of American FactFinder will like this. When you open the above link you will see two new search tools designed to make searching easy: 1)
<i>Community Facts</i>, which lets you find data about a single geography (city, town, county, etc.), and 2)
<i>Guided Search</i>, which lets you choose, in this order a) topics, and/or b) geographies, and/or c) race/ethnic group for People, Housing, and Business/Industry. For users who’ve had experience using the previous Factfinder it also has the options of d)
search by dataset and e) search by table number or table title.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Users who’ve had experience using the previous Factfinder will recognize
<i>Advanced Search</i> as the previous Factfinder; and advanced users who download data have the option of using
<i>Download Options</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>
