Overview
OnTheMap is a Web-based mapping and reporting application that shows where workers are employed and where they live. The application is paired with reports on age, earnings, industry distributions, race, ethnicity, educational attainment, and sex, while the tool itself features comprehensive block-level coverage for home and work areas, six powerful analysis tools, user-created outputs, and easy-to-use online documentation. Based on 2002-2010 Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Origin Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), OnTheMap is a unique resource for mapping the travel patterns of workers and identifying small-area workforce characteristics.
OnTheMap for Emergency Management, an offshoot of the standard OnTheMap application, provides an intuitive interface for accessing U.S. population and workforce statistics, in real time, for areas being affected by natural disasters. Users can easily retrieve reports containing detailed U.S. Census block-level workforce, population, and housing characteristics for hurricanes, floods, wildfires, winter storms, and federal disaster declaration areas.
