    Beth Jarosz
    Beth Jarosz

    Hello,

    I am unable to make a map using American factfinder. Any time I try to make a map using any kind of data, I get an error where the map reads nothing. What is going on here? Is there an issue with the website at the moment?

    If you are familiar with how federal housing funds works, you probably know that what we call "80%" of Area Median Income (AMI) is often not…

    I just find an article, which partially answered my question. But what should I do?
