Making Sense of U.S. Geography

Have you ever needed information from two different U.S. data sets? One data set gives you county-level information, the other gives you MSA or PUMA level information. What do you do? Stare at maps hoping things will become clear? Read pages and pages of Census documentation? No! There is an easier way! Just use the Missouri Census Data Center's Geographic Correspondence Engine. Just select your source geocode, target code, and what you want to use for weights. The website will provide you an excel sheet with the appropriate cross-walks and allocation factors!
