Music. Hello, I'm Ana Maria Garcia. Today, I'm going to teach you how to access embedded geographies using the American FactFinder. I'm going to demonstrate how to do this so that it's easier for you when you're looking for the data for your project. We are on the American FactFinder homepage, which you can access by going to census.gov. Today, we're going to look for geographies within geographies. So, we'll click on advanced search. We'll say, "Show me" or we'll select the second blue bar on the left-hand side, "Geographies." We'll go to the name tab, which is the second tab for this exercise. We'll select census tract and then we'll go to the summary level and we'll say within a census tract, within a place, and then within a state. We'll select the state Connecticut, and now you see that it has all census tracts within areas of Connecticut. For our exercise, we're going to choose Hartford. And now we'll click OK, and you see all sorts of strikes for plots within Hartford town. We're going to select this, we'll press add, and now we'll go to the map and you can see this with all of its designated census tracts. We could actually identify them by census tract. To update the map in order to see the numbers of the census tracts, we'll go to these boundaries, click on census tract, and then we'll update. And now what you see is all of the census tracts within Hartford. This is how you get census tracts within a place or geography within geography.

Thank you. Music.
