1. Students will learn and demonstrate the ability to access and analyze Census data using CensusScope to obtain statistical information relevant to developing a social work program within their community context (state, city, or county).
2. Students will articulate demographic trends in their local community-including population growth, racial composition, age distribution, household structure, and income levels-based on their analysis of census data.
3. Students will use demographic data from their local community to address community-level changes by proposing potential social work programs and/or resources.
This learning module guides students in using CensusScope to analyze Census data to assess demographic needs in their local community, identify target populations, and propose relevant social work interventions.
