1️⃣ What's census data, and what's ogr2ogr?
Census data reflects the demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics of a population. It is useful for guiding public policy decisions, allocating government funds, planning for educational needs, infrastructure development, and healthcare services.
ogr2ogr is a powerful tool that's part of GDAL (The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) and can be used for file conversion, loading, and more. It's maintained by the awesome folks at OSGeo
