The data used behind this project is census data that Dr. Kane provided from IPUMS, the “Integrated Public Use Microdata Series,” for both Albany County, New York and Sacramento County, California from 1850-1900. The visuals I created demonstrate a change in demographics over time in these two capital counties in the United States. Another data […]
