Questions about this workflow
What kind of population data does it retrieve?
It uses the Census Population Estimates Program action for a specified vintage and dataset, for the geographies you request.
Does this calculate population growth?
Notis can summarize returned estimates across requested vintages or geographies when you provide the comparison scope. It cannot infer a missing baseline.
