  • 1.  New Web App for Exploring ACS Remote Work Trends (2019–2024)

    Posted 2 days ago
    I just published an updated version of my Covid Demographics Explorer, built on ACS 1-year data. The app now covers the nation, all 50 states, and counties and cities with populations of 65,000 or more.
     
    In addition to remote work trends, you can explore changes in population, median household income, median rent, and public assistance receipt. A new "Compare Years" tab lets you see how any location's change compares to the rest of the country for any two years in the dataset.
     
    The data surfaces some striking geographic patterns. Sunnyvale, CA saw an almost 11x increase in remote workers between 2019 and 2021 - the largest in the dataset - followed by a 67% decline by 2024, also the largest. The two next-largest declines were also in Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, several warm-weather destinations (Marion County FL, Collier County FL, Maui HI) saw the largest gains in the 2021–2024 period, likely reflecting remote-work migration.

    Ok I am not an academic person, more of a hobby around health topics since heart surgery a few years back. I love dashboards of all kinds (have a few of my own). If your website has some great analysis, but seems to be mostly self serving (selling courses) is this a TOS issue? I don't know again not an academic person. Any feedback from others on this platform? Not intending to be disrespectful to anyone.
