2012 CFS Public-Use Microdata Visuals

2012 CFS Public-Use Microdata Visuals

The interactive dashboards below were created in Tableau and illustrate 2012 CFS data by State, CFS Area, Hazardous Material, and Temperature Controlled.  The estimates displayed in the visuals are generated from the 2012 CFS Public-Use Microdata (PUM) file (Click Here). This file contains approximately 4.5 million shipments obtained from businesses included in the 2012 CFS.  For the PUM file, disclosure avoidance techniques were applied to protect the confidentiality of the data of the CFS respondents.  While properties in the original data were maintained to the extent possible, estimates generated by these dashboards are not exactly comparable to estimates provided in already published tables.
