I see from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Nuys that "The 2000 U.S. census counted 136,443 residents in the 8.99-square-mile Van Nuys neighborhood". Could you tell me where I can see that on the census site and download that data? I was hoping wikipedia included the reference on census.gov where that information is located, but it does not.
Thanks
If you goggle search you will see that "Van Nuys" CA is not a census recognized geography. It is a neighborhood of Los Angles. If you look here: https://statisticalatlas.com/neighborhood/California/Los-Angeles/Van-Nuys/Population you can see that they compute the population by adding up over census tracts, probably using a map (shape file) from Los Angles County to select the tracts. Many (most) cities publish maps/shapefiles of neighborhoods.
Cheers !
David,
Thanks for your response. My boss is very census-centric. He is comfortable citing census information, but uncomfortable citing other sites. For example, I looked at your statisticalatlas.com reference. Their population count was different than the wikipedia site.
Would you be able to give a census-centric response?
See my response under the Lyndon Village question. You can compute the number on the web page that I referenced. They give their method that uses census data together with a map from Los Angels county I couldn't find one but email Los Angles county and ask.
