I am trying to find or calculate population density for all Places in the US. I can find the population for these in a table like B01001 but I'm not sure if the land area is available in any form through one of the published tables.
Final comment, if the area is updated you could use the newly released Tiger Line files for those that changed. They have a vintage as do the population estimates. Hope this is confusing enough:)
One…
True story. On the other hand, there is no pricing tab on Census Download pages. So there's that.
Hi Cliff, I actually just did this calculation when creating this GIS feature layer of the new Demographic and Housing Characteristics (2020 Census DHC) for the three different place geographies (incorporated places, Census Designated places, and consolidated cities). The field in here is called P001_calc_pctPopDensity, People per sq. kilometer, and I calculated it this way: round(1,000,000 * (P0010001 / AREALAND), 1). If you have an ArcGIS Online account, you can sign in and export these tables to csv or whatever format you like.
Thank you Diana. Someone else provided me with the file I needed to calculate this data point but I will definitely take a look at your ArcGIS Online project.
