PCensus

PCensus lets you define areas with circles or polygons to give demographic reports. It also displays demographics for standard areas: states, counties, places, census tracts, block groups or Zip codes.

PCensus uses databases containing the most detailed census data, with over 3,000 items. You can compare study areas and export census variables to databases or spreadsheets. There are no per-use or annual fees.

Who uses PCensus? - Retailers, Planners, Healthcare providers, Real Estate agents and developers, Utilities - anyone who needs to know about the population in an area.

MapInfo works with PCensus to create thematic maps showing the target areas. PCensus also offers regular updates based on the scientific analysis of population trends and economic climates through EQUIFAX and The WEFA Group: Current-Year Estimates and Five-Year Projections, MicroVision Market Segments, Consumer-Facts, with household spending on over 400 goods and services, and Business-Facts with daytime population and businesses.
