Download US Census block data and shapefile and join in GIS

In this video I go over how to download Census block level data from American Fact Finder, how to download block level shapefiles, how to join tables and shapefiles, and how to map block level demographic data in GIS. The process is very easy but I had some issues when I first learned how to do this. As always, I'm sure there are different ways to reach the same product, but this is the method I have found works for me. Good luck!
