Is it possible to get the unemployment rate by census tract level? I could not find it in the census reporter.
Thanks!

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…
Just a heads up...The Unemployment Rate from the ACS will be a five-year average if you're looking at tracts, or any other level smaller than mid-size cities. Even for the larger cities, counties and metros, the data is a couple of years old by the time it's published. For something as time-critical as the unemployment rate, this may be meaningless for your purpose.For the most recent job stats (incl unemployment rate) use the BLS :LAUS, and it will be only about two months old. The downside is the smallest geography is all counties and many mid-size cities.
LAUS geography varies by state. In Massachusetts it includes all 351 cities and towns, as well as counties and other geographies.
