I have two poverty dashboards based on ACS5 data, one has a state filter, one just a full listing of counties. No prior year because of COVID etc, so I'll wait till 2022 comes out and put 2022 vs 2021 data in. I might put in a little more effort, but I also want a housing dashboard, gov programs (SSI, UI,SNAP etc.), Race, Grandparents and maybe a few more. Not looking for perfect, but just some good recaps.What I really hoped to find when I first look for Census data. They both look about the same so I'm only posting one.

Thanks!
It might be helpful to know who your prospective audience and use case for this is. It's helpful that you provided baseline US numbers for context (state might be useful as well). I'd consider including…
The issue of "county based" poverty numbers or even any numbers from all of the counties is that there are very many small counties in the United States. In fact, only about 1,300 are large than…
The issue might be clearer if you refer to each of them with their full range, 2018-2022 and 2017-2021. If you compare the two, you're not comparing 2022 with 2021. Sometimes we'll use the final year as…
Looks all right, nice to see all the counties in one place. I wonder if you've considered using SAIPE data, for at least the overall rates and the under-18 group. It's annual data rather than 5-year. SAIPE does have under-5 annual poverty data, but only for states and school districts. But it also has ages 5-17 in families for all levels, along with MHI.

Thanks for the feedback. Several people mentioned SAIPE, which has some clear advantages. So, it's a possibility down the road, but I really want some solid ACS dashboards first. I also want to cover cdc wonder mortality bfrss and a few others. I mostly use weekends for all this and I need a few for the other stuff (friends, family, camping etc), so maybe another 6 months to get it all covered.
