I need to get small area data on children by race/ethnicity. Ideally I'd like to get the number of children in a zip code by race/ethnicity for any year 2010 or later. I'm having trouble finding data like this on data.census.gov. Alternatively, I could also use the 94-171 Redistricting Data Summary Files PL2 & PL4 at the block group level but I can't figure out how to access them. With the transition from Factfinder to data.census.gov it's become difficult to get information on children by race at a small geography.
Any help anyone could give me on finding this data would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
At MCDC we do have the PL94-171 files including BG-level race. (These actually list over-18 population by race, but you could subtract from the totals to get 18 and under.) Unfortunately we only have these datafiles by individual state. They're here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/uexplore?/pub/data/pl942010 if you're interested.
Those are both great suggestions. I'll check them out. Thanks!
