I have recent census tract estimates from the state government that would be much more accurate than their method of applying Census estimates. Their estimates method might work in some states, but my county alone has almost 2 million people and some parts have grown way faster than others, so it's not very helpful. I wish there were a way I could use the state tract estimates instead... Sad

Send an e-mail to Dave Bradlee.  He appears to be receptive to assistance to make his program better.  Since block groups nest within census tracts, it should be relatively easy to adjust the data for your estimates, especially if you are willing to do the grunt work.




I took your advice, but he never responded. Sad

Your app is pretty much a dream come true. I had always wished there was something like it!

Will there be any presidential data for Washington State later on? 

It's already been added.

I gerrymandered as much as possible and still only got it up to 57.3% Obama.
