Is it possible to get the unemployment rate by census tract level? I could not find it in the census reporter.
Thanks!
Robin
That's a measure you'd have to calculate yourself.table B23025: Unemployed / table B23025: In Labor Force
Good luck.
Robin, you can get table B23025 for all US tracts at once on the MCDC site.

Use the dataset ustracts21_24 for table B23025: https…
Use the dataset ustracts21_24 for table B23025: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/broker?_PROGRAM=utils.uex2dex.sas&path=/data/acs2019/base_tables_5yr&dset=ustracts21_24&view=0
Find the variables you need, in your case it's B23025i3 (Civilian labor force) and B23025i5 (unemployed). Save as a CSV, then just use Excel to do the math.
Let me know if you need assistance with this data tool.
hello Glenn, I'm trying to find the census block groups level unemployment data for 2019 and 2020, but through the page you provided I didn't find it, and the staff of LAUS replied that they don't provide data of this level. Would you please help to see what's the problem? Thanks!
The link I provided was for tracts, not block groups. For block groups you would use https://mcdc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/broker?_PROGRAM=utils.uex2dex.sas&path=/data/acs2019/base_tables_5yr&dset=usbgs21_24&view=0
Sorry but it seems the same link. Should I choose "BG" as the identifier?
It's not the same link. The first one goes to dataset containing tracts (ustracts). The second one goes to a block group dataset (usbgs).
