This final module of the course will help you pull everything you've learned together by guiding viewers through a practical exercise to apply their knowledge of the American Community Survey (ACS), data tools and resources. The tasks involve geocoding an address to identify a census tract, accessing housing data for a specific time period, and calculating the confidence interval for the estimate.
