These data have been developed using a special program developed by Proximity to process a 4.3 million record dataset containing individual age estimates (crossed by gender and race/ethnicity). The program can generate summaries for any age grouping for any race/ethnicity and/or by gender. In the process, a summary file is created that contains the full set of annual estimates (2000–2006). That file can be integrated into CommunityViewer U.S. by county shapefile to develop thematic maps of school age population composition and change. Options for viewing alternative constructs (aggregates, percentages, different age-race-gender combinations, etc.) are enormous. Let us know about your custom requirements/needs.
