This project has been created to deal with census/acs data and will help generating maps for the ungentry project. It connects to the census ftp server to collect data, then process them to build maps.
At root folder type:
mvn package
This should create a folder target with a jetty-censusacsserver.jar file. When starting, it will open the default browser to display a server UI.
In target directory, just type :
java -jar jetty-censusacsserver.jar -d ../data
Select build map in the menu, then select ACS data year, it will be downloaded from Census ftp server
Then select a state, to work with
It should be highlighted, then click next
When needed it will upload state files from the census
It will computes the set of data available for the selected state (this can take few minutes).
Just check some of those fields, then click next
After some time, it will start to build tiles for the selected map
You can use the little leaflet example to display tiled layer that currently works with images
