Keep a current snapshot of your local market
Get the latest annual Census estimates for a chosen area without rebuilding the same research brief by hand.

Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get ACS 1-Year Estimates
Retrieves the latest one-year American Community Survey estimates for a geographic area.
Why this helps
Market sizing research gets scattered across tabs, and founders can lose track of which figures are current.
- Get a recurring summary of current annual estimates.
- Keep geography, year, and variable choices explicit.
- Surface missing inputs instead of silently guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the selected ACS 1-year variables for your chosen geography and summarize the market signals.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real geography.
Questions about this workflow
What should I provide before the first run?
Specify the geography and the Census variables or market indicators you want. Notis can use Census metadata to help identify variables, but it should ask when the intended measures are unclear.
Does this prove my addressable market?
No. ACS estimates describe people and households in a geography. They do not establish willingness to buy, reachable customers, or your market share.
