ACS 2013 5-year data available in MS Access 2007

Hi all,

I will be importing the 5year estimate summary files for Oregon, Arizona, and Washington D.C. into an Access database (2007 version). I've set up a macro to run the import routine so it wouldn't be too difficult to do additional states. The files are large so, as you can imagine, it actually takes multiple Access files to import them all. Ideally these should be used on a SQL server, though I currently don't have access to SQL so this is my method for now.

If anyone would like the Access files for any state, let me know and I can import it for you or send you documentation on how to do it for yourself. I will need to test my import routine when the data are released on Thursday so I don't want to give out the documentation files until I know this works properly. I did this for the 2012 5year estimates, so I know it works, but I've had to make adjustments due to changes in the Sequence Files so I want to make sure I got the adjustments correct before I distribute it.

  • Hi Girma - what state(s) do you need? I am going ahead and creating the access files for every state and will put them on my server for download. if you let me know what state you need then I will be sure to get to that one first. I'm currently writing up documentation on how to use the files. Because it's such a large amount of data, and Access has a filesize limitation, the data will take at least 4 Access files per state.
