Welcome to the CDXZipStream January 2013 Newsletter
To kick-off the new year we've just introduced our new
demographic data feed from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community
Survey, that provides everything from housing value to individual
earned income for all populated zip codes in the United States. We
also have a couple of new tutorial videos that give a brief overview
on this new data feed, as well as a Microsoft Excel template that
creates a comprehensive radius analysis report identifying store
locations for a customer list (or vice versa).
Here's a look at our latest blog articles:

Our New ZIP Code-based Data Feed from the ACS
CDXZipStream now
includes a new feed that provides extensive demographic data based on
ZIP Code Tabulation Areas. (ZCTA's are the U.S. Census Bureau version
of ZIP codes.) This is the first time ZIP code-based data has
been released from the American Community Survey, covering all
populated ZIP codes in the U.S. The ACS is an annual
survey of about 3 million households performed by the U.S. Census
Bureau. It has replaced the old "long form" version of the
census, and includes many social, economic, and housing questions
that were not part of the 2010 Census. The over 200 data fields
in this feed covers:
- Age
- Individual
Earnings
- Educational
Attainment
- Household
Size
- Household
Income
- Housing
Value and Rent
- Marital
Status
- Mortgage
Status
- Population
- Race/Ethnicity
- School
Enrollment
A complete
listing of data fields available CDXZipStream, including this
new feed called CDXACSZCTA, can be downloaded here.
The new feed
is available with the Premium ACS version of CDXZipStream, which
includes all demographic data feeds and data analysis
functions. If you already have this version, the new feed is
included in the most recent Premium ZIP Code data update. Other
current users of CDXZipStream can upgrade to this version by logging
into their CDXTech.com account and selecting "Upgrade Licenses".
In both cases, be sure to also get the newest 11.2.2 (free)
update of CDXZipStream, available by clicking on the "License
Information and Software Updates" button on the toolbar, then
selecting "Software Updates".
