ACS 2005 and ACS 2007 3-yr data

boakye3 over 4 years ago

Hi,

I need to access ACS 2005 and ACS 3-yr data on the county and place geographic levels. These data sets are not on the data.census.gov website. Does anybody know where I can go to find this data? It was originally available through American Fact Finder.

Thanks,

Jessica

You can get it off the Census FTP site here:
https://www2.census.gov/

NHGIS has 2005 5-year data but I only see 3 year data on NHGIS beginning with 2008-2011 - so if that would help, NHGIS is probably easier to deal with than the raw summary files on FTP.

Hi, sorry to ask again. I am not familiar with the format of the FTP data, is there an easy way to view these raw summary files in excel or is there a good resource for explaining how to work with this data for beginners?

There's some documentation on the ACS pages of the Census website here:
www.census.gov/.../summary-file-documentation.html

See if that will get you rolling. There used to be an Excel based user tool that allowed you to import tables but I can't seem to find that. Maybe someone else will know what I'm talking about and where to find that.
