Refresh decennial Census profiles for locations
Keep a recurring, reviewable snapshot of decennial Census measures for locations you provide.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Decennial Census Data
Retrieves decennial census statistics on population, demographics, or housing.
Why this helps
A location profile can require several manual steps to confirm an address, find its geography, and retrieve Census variables.
- Validate supplied addresses before querying Census data.
- Use resolved Census geography to request decennial data.
- Collect results and unresolved addresses in a scheduled report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addressfinder and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis where the address list will be supplied and to verify each address before retrieving the requested decennial dataset, vintage, and variables for its geography.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one or more real addresses and confirm the requested dataset and vintage.
Questions about this workflow
Does this refresh every decennial dataset automatically?
No. Specify the dataset, vintage, and variables you need. Notis should report if the requested combination is unavailable.
Do I need to supply addresses each time?
Yes, unless you make the address list available to the automation through a source you provide. The schedule alone does not create or store a list.
Why use a recurring schedule for decennial data?
It can refresh a recurring location report or check a supplied list on a cadence you choose. The underlying data may not change with each run.
