Hi all
I hope everyone had a safe and healthy weekend.
I asked before, but in case anything changed or I missed new sources:
I’m looking for poverty and income data by race/ethnicity at the county level for New York State.
I can use s1701, poverty status in the past 12 months. But in that table, Black or African American, Asian, etc, all include Hispanic or Latino. The only non-Hispanic group is White alone, not Hispanic or Latino. Is there anywhere I can find poverty (and income) Black or African American not Hispanic or Latino, Asian not Hispanic or Latino, other groups not Hispanic or Latino?
Thanks
Gene
You can get that data from the Selected Populations datasets. These come out every five years, the most recent for the 2011-2015 five year period. It allows you to select the race/ethnicity combinations of interest. It's possible certain counties will have data suppressed if there are not enough cases (I think there needs to be at least 50). You can select from a variety of detailed tables - here's the ratio of income to poverty (just sum those below 1.0 to get those in poverty): https://tinyurl.com/euam547j and here's one for income: https://tinyurl.com/tu7as94s So this dataset will get you what you want but the tradeoff is timeliness - I assume they'll be released next for 2016-2020 ACS.
