Well, first, Census removed the American FactFinder in 2018. So, we can no longer use our knowledge of that system to automate finding data. Where we CAN add value, however, is in pulling entire datasets by year for different Census Surveys.
Take County Business Patterns for example. It can be used to estimate the size of a local economy or the sales in a particular industry at a local level, perhaps. One could then use those baseline numbers to estimate the impact that a business entering or exiting the local area may have on employment, sales, average income, etc.
So, I think to add value to an economic researcher, we could do the following:
Based on the above, for Version 2, we could add the following functionality:
Along those lines, for Version 3:
We want a title of Version 2 to be descriptive of the desired additional functionality. It should improve on Version 1 in the following ways:
So, any ideas of what functionality to include and what the title should be would be much appreciated. Refer to original README and think of our original intent to spur ideas.
