Action

Why this helps
Housing indicators can be useful for location decisions, but manually recreating detailed Census queries makes regular reviews cumbersome.
- Retrieve selected housing characteristics across supported geographies.
- Use a repeatable data brief for location and market reviews.
- Keep the year, geography, and measures visible alongside the results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the housing profile refresh.
- 3Tell Notis the ACS five-year year, geographies, housing variables, and desired summary.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real area and verify the measures and year in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can I request only housing variables?
Yes. Specify the housing measures and geographies you want, provided the selected ACS dataset supports them.
Will it explain changes over time?
It can summarize the returned estimates. For a time comparison, specify compatible periods and a baseline or use a comparison profile action.
