Census User Survey Report
• couldn't make sense of casweb. very cumbersome, and confusing to me.
• CASWeb needs to have more available maps that can be joined with ArcView, and more readable statistics.
• Life would be much easier if the CASWEB aggregate data could be downloaded complete with row and column labels.
• The ability to construct bespoke tables via casweb would be extremely useful. It is surely possible to put in place a system which checks for small cell sizes in the resulting tables and prevents or adapts disclosure where needed?
