The Build Your Own Profile tool lets you choose geographies or draw your own to get data. Using the map, you can combine, compare, or draw geographies to create a custom profile. There are a few things you should know:

• Geography views: Select among multiple geography types to locate your area of interest.
• Zooming: Use the controls in the top left area of the map, your mouse's scroll wheel, or pinch on touch devices.
• Build mode: Combine as many geographic areas on the map as you want. Use the (X) next to each geography's name to delete a selection. Add a second geographic area to compare side-by-side.
• Draw mode: Choose your drawing tool and click on the map to create a shape. Double-click to finish drawing shapes or lines.
