The current shutdown in Washington is limiting the access that scholars and researchers have to vital materials, including the US Census website. To that end, Oxford University Press and the Social Explorer team will open up access to Social Explorer, for the next two weeks. Social Explorer provides access to the US Census data from 1790 to 2010 and to the American Community Survey from 2005 through 2012.
For access to Social Explorer, simply email onlinereference@oup.com to request a username and password.
Social Explorer (about video) provides access to current and historical census data and demographic information. Users can create maps and reports to illustrate, analyze, and understand demography and social change.
