Dear all,
I need 2020 zip-code level SES such as median income, % eimployed, % with high school diploma, etc. But I'm not sure which dataset to download. Can anyone provide a link? It will be great if sample code of coverting the dada to SAS can be provided also.
Many thanks,
Yi

Thank you, Dave. This is so complicated. So if I want to use 2020 data, I need the 5-yr estimate (because the only one-yr estimate is for the year of 2021)? Also I couldn't locate the file the contains the zip-code level data. The state I'm interested in TX.
There was no 1-year data released for 2020. Regardless, you must use 5-year data for ZIP code / ZCTA level data -- you won't find it in the 1-year ACS.
Thank you, Glenn. In my data, I only have zip codes which I just realized that can't be used for linkage because there's no zcta-zip code crosswalk. What to do if my aim is to get zip-code level data?
Actually there are ZIP-to-ZCTA crosswalks available.
Here's a great source:

If your aim is to get ZIP code data, you won't find it in the ACS.
You could try ZIP Code Business Patterns (which uses actual ZIP codes, not ZCTAs), but I don't know if that will include all of the SES data you need:
