ACS low to moderate income joining in ArcGIS

Hello, 

My grant manager gave me the raw data from the ACS 5-year estimates for low to moderate-income populations. Since there are no locators in the data, I am having difficulty plotting out the areas on ArcGIS. I have updated layers for both census tracts and block group boundaries. I joined the spreadsheet to each layer but Geoids don't fully match up for the tracts or they match up for the block groups but I can't filter the data only to show certain percentages. Does anyone else work with the ACS data for CDBG programs? Are you also having difficulty? any information would be beneficial. 

thanks in advance.

  • the Geoid is just a combination of the state, county, tract and block group identifiers. The ACS data is from the ACS 5 year estimate, 2016-2020 and I downloaded the shapefiles from the HUD website today. Its updated tract and block group boundaries
