IPUMS is offering three data training events this month. On November 10 (9:00 AM and 7:00 PM CT), the IPUMS International webinar “Practical Use of IPUMS Census Microdata: From Online Data Analysis to Mapping” will show how to use the Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) tool to generate statistical tables from IPUMS International, then use those results as inputs for GIS software to visualize geographic patterns and trends across places and time.

On November 12 (10:00 AM CT), Population Data Virtual Office Hours will feature the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), sponsor of the CPS Computer and Internet Use Supplement, as a special data guest. Participants can bring data questions to IPUMS staff or connect with NTIA staff about their efforts to measure internet and technology use. Registration is required, but attendees can drop in at any time.

On November 18 (11:00 AM CT), the IPUMS NHGIS webinar “Harmonizing Geographic U.S. Census Data Across Time” will introduce resources for investigating change in geographic areas over time. These include time series tables, which compile comparable summary statistics from multiple years down to census tracts and block groups, and geographic crosswalks, which support allocating data from one year’s units to another to build geographically standardized data. Registration links for each event are also available on the IPUMS website.
