Release of Census Bureau's 2014 Planning Database

The Census Bureau has just released the 2014 Planning Database (PDB) of selected 2008-2012 American Community Survey estimates and selected 2010 Census data for census tracts and block groups. The PDB provides small area demographic, housing, and socioeconomic data that may be particularly useful to a wide range of users for planning and analysis.
In addition, the PDB includes a new Low Response Score (LRS) for each tract and block group -- an indicator of how difficult an area is likely to be in gaining census and survey participation. The LRS methodology is documented in a paper available on the link below.

Files and documentation can be accessed on the Census website at: www.census.gov/research/data/planning_database/
There is also a one-page flyer describing the new Planning Database.
