Well, no: A long-needed change
“Legacy FactFinder” (launched 1999-2000) Built for Census geeks Grew over time; breadth, quality of data
varies by topic FactFinder 2 (launched January 2011)
More carefully designed But poorly launched – and frustrating for
longtime users

Legacy FactFinder is like a box of chocolates …

In some respects it’s way better
User can choose among many results.
Search is interactive and nearly instant.
And the maps are far better than anything delivered by Legacy FactFinder.

But (you knew there would be a but …)
Why is it so hard to get data for all the places in a single county?
Why can’t I get a profile for my city on QuickStart?
Why is the transition taking so long? Why can’t I export a map as a
shapefile or KML?
