The U.S. Census Bureau open data is a key ingredient in important civic tech projects and policy advocacy work. In this episode we get to hear directly from a Census Bureau expert, Lia Bolden, as she answers questions from the Civic Hacker Network members and demystifies the new data being released after the 2020 census. Lia shares with us specific tools and features that make it easy to access the Census data so that we can utilize it in ways that create social impact within our communities.
