Since 1995 the Maptitude Mapping Software has made it easy to access a wealth of US Census data for the entire country. You can quickly visualize Census demographics using a suite of wizard-driven tools. Maptitude also provides a map library that contains over 100 pre-designed maps listed by Census category. These include thematic maps of demographic, social, economic, and housing data by ZIP Code, Tract, County, and State. The Map Librarian lets you open one or more of these maps for a chosen location, allowing you to quickly analyze U.S. Census data for your area of interest. Access to the complete cross-tabulated Census results is managed using Caliper's innovative Table Chooser add-in that has been designed specifically to help you use the Census data (sold separately from Maptitude). This flexible and intuitive product lets you choose exactly the tables you need and, using the appropriate geographic boundaries, produces maps to visualize them. The Table Chooser contains files with the Census data for a single state or for the entire country and with up to eleven summary levels that include: State, Congressional District, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), County, County Subdivision, Place, Indian Reservation, Census Tract, Block Group, 5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) and Urbanized Area/Urban Cluster (UA/UC). The Census is the only comprehensive and truly reliable source for nationwide demographics. Maptitude contains Census variables that describe demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics including age, race, gender, income, school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, grandparents as caregivers, veteran status, disability of the civilian non-institutionalized population, residence, nativity and place of birth, region of birth of the foreign born, language spoken at home, ancestry, employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, poverty status, units in structure, year structure built, rooms, year householder moved into unit, vehicles available, house heating fuel, occupants per room, value, mortgage status and selected monthly owner costs, selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income, gross rent, and gross rent as a percentage of household income.
