Use comparison profiles to put demographic, social, economic, or housing changes across periods into one research request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Query ACS Comparison Profiles
Retrieve ACS profiles to compare demographic, social, economic, or housing data over time.
Why this helps
Comparing characteristics over time is tedious when each period has to be looked up and reconciled separately.
- Compare supported ACS characteristics across time periods.
- Focus on demographic, social, economic, or housing measures.
- Prepare a consistent starting point for trend discussions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the geography, ACS profile measures, and time periods to compare.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one geography and verify the supported periods and measures.
Questions about this workflow
Which topics can comparison profiles cover?
The action supports comparisons of demographic, social, economic, or housing characteristics across periods within supported one-year or five-year ACS products.
Will it calculate a trend from any two years?
The comparison depends on periods available for the selected dataset and geography. The workflow should report the periods returned and avoid implying unsupported coverage.
