Visitors can use the interactive maps to look over population, ethnicity, age, and educational attainment distributions across the United States. Each map contains a zoom feature, and visitors can use the subject indicators to look at different variables.

Finally, visitors can also download and read "The State of Metropolitan America" report which provides additional perspective on some of these recent demographic trends.
