The Census Bureau has released three new products useful for geographic analysis.  These include:

• TIGERweb: a web-based map viewer for boundaries and features stored in the MAF/TIGER geographic database, using 2010 Census geographic boundaries and features
• KML File Prototypes: 2010 Census counties and census tract KML files are available as prototypes; feedback on the type of layers and attributes that should be included is requested by February 28, 2012
• 1992 TIGER/Line Files: zipped into county packages and available on the Census ftp site

For more information or to offer suggestions for additional geographic and cartographic products, contact geo.tiger@census.gov.

In addition, FHWA recently hosted training on using American FactFinder 2 and Data Ferrett.  The recordings of these events are posted online, along with several additional documents for Data Ferrett:

• October 11 overview of American FactFinder 2
• December 19 webinar on Data Ferrett (you may need to skip to minute 12 since until the recording is edited)
