Is there a way to access US Census data?

Questions
1

I have a table that contains two columns (longitude and latitude). Can I associate each of them with the population density from the US Census data?

Yes! This is exactly what ‘CoordinatesToStatistics’ function is for. There are several ways to run it:

  • Select the table that contains columns with latitude and longitude to display in the Property Panel, then run ‘Coordinates to statistics’ in the ‘Algorithms’ section
  • Run ‘Coordinates to statistics’ from ‘Algorithms’ section on Toolbox
  • Open View | Console, execute CoordinatesToStatistics command, select the desired table and columns with latitude and longitude in the opened dialog
  • Execute CoordinatesToStatistics command from the console already with parameters

I attach a screenshot with an example:
