The Census Bureau's American FactFinder (AFF) Web site, of which Esri is a codeveloper, lets users locate Census Bureau statistics and maps quickly and easily. With the release of Census 2000 data early next year, AFF's data store will greatly expand. AFF is intended to complement the bureau's other Census 2000 product offerings on CD-ROM and in printed reports. It will address the data needs of a variety of user types, from Web surfers to legacy users of census data. This presentation will discuss AFF's current functionality, as well as changes in the works to facilitate user access to Census 2000 data.
