Data from our clients is central to the congregant information we provide, but we also extract information from a variety of community demographic products. Census Data: MissionInsite possesses both the 2000 Census SF3 Data at a block group level which includes 5000 census variables and Census SF3+ which includes 15,000 variables at the census tract level.
