Population Data File Updates
Q: How do I obtain new or updated files for population information to use with HDMapper™?
A: HDMapper uses the ESRI Shapefile (.SHP) format for all mapping layers, including population layers.
Note that all values in this example are for demonstration purposes only. You should determine appropriate settings for your application.
The files used for population counts or data summations are described in the “Pop Count Data Files” article.
TAP 6.0.2435 and later has the ability to select different data file columns from the files, such as "number of households."
One commercial source of these files in the correct format
is:
