ECON 136: Week 2 Tasks
Monday (postponed from January 24): Community Profiles: Counting what we can Measure
Preparing for class:
Take a few minutes to brainstorm a list of the sort of facts you would want to know about a community you might be visiting or where a friend lives. The rest of your preparation will consist of looking at what others think is important to note about communities. Note on the sheet with your list those items you did not include and items and items others failed to include.
Read this profile of Camden’s Water Front South neighborhood http://www.heartofcamden.org/publish/community_about.html

Read the attached profile of West Nottingham Township, where David Ross lives
Go to http://factfinder2.census.gov, enter West Nottingham township, Chester County, Pennsylvania in the search box and note the sort of community data collected by the US Census Bureau.
