Using Census Data for Opportunity Zones Webinar

Join the Office of Congressman Adam Smith and special guests from the United States Census Bureau for a webinar on how to use data to help with Opportunity Zone nominations. By analyzing the Census Business Builder and OnTheMap features, attendees can tract metrics such as disposable income, median rents, poverty rate, unemployment rate, and more to determine eligible tracts for each project. We hope members of municipal governments can join us.
