  1. Connect your data source
  2. Set the latitude and longitude columns
  3. Choose the country and aggregation level
  4. Select the census variables to add
  5. Run the automation

See the Geo Profiling node reference for full configuration.

On Maps

Visualize census data on the map:

  1. Select a geographic layer
  2. Choose a census variable
  3. Pick a visualization style (choropleth, heatmap)
