I'm having a heck of a time downloading median income for zip codes on the ACS 5-year surveys. I know I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out. I choose the survey, go to geographies, click five digit zip code tabluation area and no zip codes show up. Forgive my impertinence, but can someone help? Thank you.
Why not just use data.census.gov? If you're not very familiar with the API, data.census.gov would be much easier to get what you want.
AMI data are computed and disseminated by HUD using ACS data. Here's a link to the Excel file that provides the figure for every county: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il/il20/Section8-FY20…
your API call URL doesn't work. This one will give you PCI by ZCTA: https://api.census.gov/data/2019/acs/acs5?get=NAME,B19301_001E&for=zip%20code%20tabulation%20area:*
For top 10% within state…
This isn't from data.census.gov, but MCDC maintains an app that lists median family income by ZIP code (ZCTA). The app is here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/zipcodes/ but only does one state at a time. We have all states in an Excel file here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/zipcodes/ZIP_codes_2018.xls. These are from the 2014-2018 5-year ACS.
