US-Mexico Demographic Data Viewer
Overview
The US-Mexico Demographic Data
Viewer (US-Mexico DDViewer) is an
easy-to-use World Wide Web accessible application that provides rapid
data mapping, viewing, and analysis
of more than 200 variables that are
congruent between United States and
Mexico. A useful tool for browsing
and visualizing patterns at geographic
levels ranging from regions to counties/municipios, the US-Mexico
DDViewer may be used to map
population, vital statistic, land area,
and household data.
Data
The core data is a collection of more
than 200 variables from the 1990
U.S. Census Summary Tape File
(STF) 3A/1A, CDC Wonder (vital

US-Mexico DDViewer is one of
several products included in
SEDAC s Population, Land Use and
Emissions Data Project. This project
represents a unique effort to link
georeferenced demographic and other
socioeconomic data products with
remote sensing data related to land
cover and use. Data on population
dynamics and distribution have been
identified as key elements in understanding human interactions with the
environment and in considering
possible responses to global environmental change.

Summary Statistics
The adjacent table presents the
summary statistics for the variable population per square mile
at the county/municipio level in
the United States and Mexico.
In addition to the map and
summary statistics table, the
US-Mexico DDViewer also
produces a table of values for
each query. The user can
change many map features —
such as color, scheme, size, and
legend — create new variables
from existing ones, and customize the range for displaying
output.
