Race and Ethnicity Data Visualization

The video tutorial introduces a data visualization tool for exploring race and ethnicity data from the 2010 and 2020 Census. Alexandra Barker highlights the increase in the multi-racial population, and Megan Rabe demonstrates how to use the tool to access data for different racial and ethnic groups at national, state, and county levels. The tool allows users to explore data through questions about group percentages and changes over time. It also provides options to view data tables for detailed comparisons. The tutorial concludes with an invitation to learn more at Census Academy.
