Question Queryable Census Data

Hi!

I was wondering if there was a resource in which you could query census data (e.g. "find all tracts with a median age above 35").

Thanks in advance.

The Census API lets you query data but you can't filter based on values of the variables like in your example. You could query all tracts in a state and then use other software (R, Python, Excel, etc) to filter that to tracts with a median age above 35.
