Finding the Obamas In the 2000 Census
An anonymous reader writes "This 'how-to' example of accessing demographic data from the U.S. Census 'American FactFinder' zooms down to the block level in Chicago to (possibly) find the Obama family in the year 2000."
Been stuck in here for 12 bloody years!
...And go back in time to protect the President from time-travelling assassins. But while you're in the past, try not to change anyting. You can ask Obama for tips on that before you leave! *rimshot*

Since it's the season for Presidential runs.
PS: I don't reply to ACs.
I'm sure all you'll find is "present"...
Just buy a copy of baseball scores from the newspaper man. Oh wait...that wouldn't be much use in the future would it?
The census doesn't cover kenya..
They did it! And here is how:

He lived in Kenya until 2004.
Meigs Field was turned into a park almost ten years ago and I never even knew.
I took off and landed there hundreds of times in Flight Simulators 4 & 5.

I don't know, reminding yourself not to buy any hookers might not be a bad idea.
He didn't live there in 2000. I have it on good authority from my buddy Phil who read it on a Fox News forum posting that he was in his birthplace Kenya the whole year conducting socialist, Muslim meetings. It was all staged by the liberal media because they knew he would become President in 2008. After all, if you hear on the Interweb, it must be true. :P
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Have I not been paying close enough attention to /. over the years or has the right-leaning bellyache editorial voice always been there, and I'm just now noticing it?
I thought my query was not working. Status indicator spun for a few minutes before returning a result. Trying to find average annual income for my zip. Report says there were 9,050 paid employees and the annual payroll was 345,792. So, the average was about 38,000? Seems low for my area, but makes sense if including all paid hourly positions.
and all the Birthers can STFU.

You can buy hookers? I thought one just rented them for a while.
LOL! What does where he was born have to do with where he was 12 years ago? You do know he's older than 12 right?
And what if we find out he wasn't born in USA, if that's proven the birthers will go fucking nuts and for good reason! That's high treason for a foreigner to even try to run in our presidential race.
In 2000 I had several coworkers who moved out of their apartments and into their cubicles. They reasoned that they spent so much time there anyway, and got free high speed internet, it didn't make sense to pay for rent, gas, and utilities just to spend 8-10 hours a week in traffic. The company quietly encouraged it too, moving everyone to a building that had shower facilities in the restroom and allowed them to install curtains and inflatable doors on their cubicles.
I wonder if the census counted them as living in our office building, or if it just skipped them entirely. I suspect it skipped them, because the census takers wouldn't have come to our office park and the company wouldn't want documentation that it violated zoning laws. Still it's fun to think that 60 years from now their grandchildren might find them listed as "Mr. H Potter, the sleeping bag under the desk, cubicle 5, row 8, 2nd floor, building 9," etc. Then again, they were engineers whose 20s and 30s were spent reading slashdot and literally living in their cubicles... they probably didn't have kids.
"That's high treason for a foreigner to even try to run in our presidential race."
Yeah, that's true, except for those pesky Founding Father presidential types, who had to be grandfathered in. Righties love to pick and choose their facts. Even when those facts aren't actually facts.
