Learn how to access detailed local housing statistics on value, heating sources, occupancy, renter demographics, and more using data.census.gov.  In this Data Gem video, we dive into the wealth of housing data available through the U.S. Census Bureau, exploring how to find critical information on local housing markets. Understanding housing value, occupancy, tenure, heating sources, expenses, and renter demographics can provide valuable insights into your communities housing economy. Census Academy will walk you step-by-step through the process of using data.census.gov, demonstrating how to search for detailed housing data for your specific geography. In this video, we use an example that shows you how to access these data for common heating sources among homeowners versus renters while also examining trends in solar power usage.

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced a hearing titled, “Oversight of the U.S. Census Bureau.” The hearing will examine the Census Bureau’s activities, including preparations for the 2030 decennial census, and review the Census Bureau’s 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES), which revealed statistically significant miscounts in the 2020 census in 14 states. These miscounts likely skewed the apportionment of representation in the House of Representatives and allocation of electoral college votes among states.

In principle, we all love to hate political gerrymandering. But how can we learn to deal with it, to manage it, ... to hack it? In the past decade, mathematicians and computer scientists have developed inventive and revealing tools to find all kinds of gerrymanders: from the pretty-but-partisan, to the hidden firewall. Watch this video to explore some ugly maps and some beautiful ideas about how to hack gerrymandering. Our Wonderfest speaker, mathematician Dr. Ellen Veomett, is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of San Francisco. She helped design the nationally-acclaimed GEO metric to analyze redistricting maps created since the 2020 census. This Wonderfest event took place in Marin County, California, on November 26, 2024. The video was edited by Neeti Sonth, Wonderfest Science Editor.
