NEO CANDO Update: New Exporting Options (file formats)
More exporting options have been added to the Social and Economic Data report. By clicking “Download Menu” on the results screen, users can now export data into the following formats: CSV, Excel, DBASE/DBF(for GIS mapping) and a SAS dataset.
Also, new identifier fields have been added when exporting tract, block group, or block data. These fields correspond with the STFID field found in GIS datasets downloaded from ESRI’s Geography Network and should help users join NEO CANDO data easier to these GIS datasets. Also, because DBF files limit field names to 10 characters or less, a variable code to variable name lookup dbf can be downloaded from the “Download Menu” as well.
NEO CANDO, Northeast Ohio Community and Neighborhood Data for Organizing, is a free and publicly accessible social and economic data system of the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development. NEO CANDO allows users to access data for the entire 17 county Northeast Ohio region, or for specific neighborhoods within Cleveland.
