Feature Highlight - Address Lookup
In this week’s blog we’ll take a look at how to enter an address in SimplyAnalytics to find the Census Block Group or Census Tract. Let’s get started!
Use Case: You want to analyze the area surrounding your retail store or proposed restaurant location.
Getting Started: Select the “Locations” button from the left side of your screen and type in the address like this:
188 Madison Ave, New York, NY
A message appears asking if you are entering an address - click on the “Address Search” button.
SimplyAnalytics will present you with a list of locations that surround your address.
Select the geography you’re interested in, and that’s all there is to it! You can now map or use the location within a report.
