Using comparison profiles to map percent veterans across parishes
Summary
The presenters used ACS comparison profiles (CP02) to map civilian-veteran percentages across Louisiana parishes, noted default dataset choices (ACS 5-year) and highlighted Vernon Parish at 16.6% veterans in the demo.
In a second demo, Tyson Weister used comparison profiles (CP02) to map the percent of civilian veterans across all parishes in Louisiana and explained how the site sets primary geography to counties/parishes. He demonstrated changing datasets and noted that 5-year ACS estimates are available for all counties; he selected the 5-year default for comprehensive coverage.
Weister highlighted example parish values on the map and said users can zoom to inspect figures; during the demo he referenced Vernon Parish showing 16.6% veterans. He emphasized checking the dataset/year selector at the top of the map to ensure the user is viewing the intended vintage of ACS estimates.
