Professor Kyle Walker of TCU, and the University of Michigan’s Social Science Data Network (SSDAN) are hosting a series of three, free webinars.
These are particularly useful for folks using the R programming language (tidycensus, tigris, etc.) to work with census data, be it decennial or ACS or LEHD.
I highly encourage MPO and State DOT staff who’re involved in census data analysis to pay close attention to R and tidycensus. It’s a great resource!!

Here’s a recap of Professor Walker’s e-mail to his list:
Subscribers,
I’m writing to announce the 2025 edition of my webinar series with the University of Michigan’s Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN)! This year’s series will focus on brand-new datasets from the 2023 American Community Survey and 2020 Decennial Census, and include tutorials on mapping US Census data with some cutting-edge tools in R. The webinar series will take place this February and is completely free to attend.
For more information about the webinars, follow this link.

We’ve had thousands of participants in these webinars over the past several years, and I’ve heard from so many participants about how these workshops helped them improve their work with R and Census data. Even if you’ve attended one or more of these webinars in years past, I’ll have plenty of brand-new content that teaches you how to use US Census data in your projects.
All webinars run from 12pm-3pm Eastern Time (US). The three webinars are as follows:
- Webinar 1 (Wednesday, February 5th): Analyzing Data from the 2023 American Community Survey in R
.
- Webinar 2 (Wednesday, February 12th): Working with Decennial Census Data in R
- Webinar 3 (Wednesday, February 26th): Mapping and Spatial Analysis with US Census Data in R
I’m excited to showcase some of the latest workflows I’ve developed for analyzing and visualizing US Census data. However, if you have any suggestions for content, please let me know!
Hope to see you all there -
Kyle
