List of Variable Names to Build a Simple State Level Panel using the ACS1 2010-2019

Hi All,

Does anyone have a list of variable names that would help me identify the median age, sex of population (in percent), median household income, and race (in percentages) for each state from 2010-2019 (or even earlier if that is possible)?  There are a lot of variable names, and I wanted to check this forum to see if there were a few that were predominantly used in research.  If there are any other important state level variables you would suggest to use, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any support you may provide!  For reference, I and querying the API using tidycensus.

Regards,

Joseph Navelski

  • Hi Adam,

    Thank you for your reply and for your source!  I have been working with the workbook, but it has 15k+ variable code names to it.  My thought was, and since I am a newbie at navigating these codebooks, someone might be able to point out some of the commonly used variable codes that have been used for past research at the state level.

    Thanks again, and I will keep sifting through the codebook!
