Keep neighborhood research current with a scheduled review
A recurring scan can bring neighborhood source changes and detailed ACS context into one report.

Why this helps
Neighborhood research goes stale while the source pages and detailed estimates live in separate workflows.
- Revisit selected pages on a predictable schedule.
- Pair qualitative updates with detailed multi-year ACS estimates.
- Receive one run report for the review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the neighborhood review.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: revisit the specified pages, extract relevant neighborhood facts, and retrieve ACS 5-year estimates for the requested geographies and variables.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real neighborhood and check the source findings and estimates.
Questions about this workflow
Why use 5-year estimates here?
They provide detailed ACS estimates for geography and variables when your request needs that multi-year dataset.
Can Notis determine the right Census variables from a page?
It can suggest relevant variables from the research instruction, but specify required variables when exact measures matter.
