Block Group level data

onekrash over 4 years ago

Hi ACS folks,

Could you please help with this question. When working with say a Total Population (b01003) table and choosing Geography, how could I choose a Block Group level and go across all counties in a state? It seems too cumbersome to have to download data county by county in a state like Texas, especially when I need some 35 tables.

Thank you very much for any help!

I dont know that you can do this using data.gov. You'd probably be better off getting what you need from nhgis.org or work directly with the summary files off the FTP site www.census.gov/.../summary-file.html

I have the summary files in SQL files if you know to use that and want them, they are available here: gisdiva.com/.../

Thank you! I don't mind to work with summary files, but I am inexperienced with it. How to look where to find a variable like b01003 or b15003? I only could find some other variables. Am I confusing any terms? Thank you again!
