    and most detailed way to determine a small area such as a neighborhood.

    Takeaways:
    We collect and examine various types of data that help provide information on changes in areas
    we live. Quantitative data from census and survey data provide information about changes in
    population composition (age, gender, ethnicity) and size in urban areas. Qualitative data from field
    studies and narratives provide individual attitudes toward urban change. Urban data helps
    federal, state, and local governments make important decisions about congressional
    representation, school lunch programs, funding for highway planning and construction, public
    transit systems, hospitals, and fire departments, just to name a few.
