Local data search

Map showing coverage of local data.

You can retrieve local data, also known as advanced demographics, to get detailed information for specific countries, counties, cities, and locations. Each individual data field is represented by an analysis variable, and analysis variables are organized into data categories that you can explore interactively with the Analysis Variable Finder and Data Collection Finder.

How to access the data

To get advanced demographics data, you use the enrich operation and specify the analysisVariables or dataCollections you want returned.

Below is a list of the high-level data categories that are available. You can use analysis variables or data collections within these categories to get data.

Find facts for a 5 minute drive area

In this example, the studyAreasOptions parameter is used to define a 5 minute drive time service area instead of the default 1 mile ring buffer. Select a data collection then click on the map to show data within a 5 minute drive area.

Steps

  1. Reference the service.

  2. Define studyAreas to submit a point.

  3. Define studyAreasOptions to create a drive time service area around the point.

  4. Define dataCollections to return a specific lists of variables.

  5. Define returnGeometry as true so the service area can be displayed on the map.

  6. Set the API key.

Find normalized facts for a 1 mile buffer

In this example the addDerivativeVariables parameter is used to calculate percentages from facts. Use the search box to select a pre-defined location or click on the map to create the default 1 mile ring around a point. The addDerivativeVariables parameter is set to percent. The list of accepted values are percent, index, average, all.

Steps

  1. Reference the service.

  2. Define the studyAreas

  3. Define the dataCollections

  4. Define addDerivativeVariables to return averages

  5. Set the API key.
