You may think that the census is soooo 2020, but you’d be dead wrong. There’s still a lot more data that’s going to be released next year from the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident, which means more stories to write.?

Even though the census was conducted two years ago, the U.S. Census Bureau has yet to release its most detailed data about families, household relationships and comprehensive breakdowns of the U.S. population by age, race, ethnicity and tribal affiliation. The first of these releases is scheduled for next spring, and then more follow later in the year.?

I have been interested in the height of various dunes and had the LiDAR data loaded up, so I made hillshade - contour map of the dunes off Kings Road.
