What’s New in Esri Demographics (Aug 2016)

Esri Demographic content was updated in August to include detailed Puerto Rico Census 2010 data. Over 1,200 variables that cover topics such as age by race and Hispanic origin, families, group quarters, household size, housing by race, and owners vs. renters were added for eight levels of geography.

How will these updates affect me?
