Net Worth/Wealth Variables in ACS or Census?

Elizabeth Perry over 5 years ago

Hello,

I am interested in searching for net worth variables (e.g. household net worth, assets, etc) by Census tract, block group, or block level. Are these accessible via AmericanFactFinder in either the American Community Survey or the decennial Census? If this data is not public, how could I go about accessing it?

Thank you.

Yes, but the data tables for download there appear to be national averages. I'm interested in this data by Census tract.

ah, I understand. well, depending on how much geography you are interested in, you could make a map similar to this one I just made and download the net worth data you are seeking off an arch GIS trial account. its simple but requires some foot work. sorry if this doesn't hit the mark

That was a pretty awesome map you threw up there!! Thanks for that!! So I have to ask, any chance you would be willing to do that same map for a year pre-recession, e.g., 2008 or before? It sure would be helpful to me (my non-profit can't afford access to esri demographics). Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask ;)
