  • RE: ACS 14-18 Poverty Status for Census Block Groups?

    The Census doesn't provide block-group data for either B05010 or B06012. This is the case for many of the ACS 5-year tables. You can look up which tables don't have block group data in the 2018 5-Year Appendices, available through this page:

  • RE: Decennial Census 2000/2010 SF3 API?

    First, prior to the 2010 Census, the American Community Survey took the place of the decennial long form, which is the source of SF3 data, so there has never been a "2010 SF3" (unless you count the 2010 ACS Summary Files, I guess!)

  • RE: Tribal Census Tract Demographic Data

    It sounds like you found the raw GIS boundary files. There are also files that have ACS summary data attached. You can find those at: www.census.gov/.../tiger-data.html

  • RE: Relationship table between ACS questions and AFF tables

    This is an interesting question. The text of the question you are citing (P31) is taken from the ACS instrument. You can find a copy on the Census website, e.g., www.census.gov/.../Quest13.pdf. The weird long table numbers in the American Fact Finder…

  • Comment on Message from Arancha Lattanzio

    Are you trying to download ALL of the files (i.e. a complete set of the downloadable summary files), or just a select set of block groups through FactFinder? Also - what table and/or variables are you looking for?

  • Fixed Sequence_Number_and_Table_Number.xls for ACS2013_1Yr

    We script the importing of ACS summary files into SQL databases based on the Sequence_Number_and_Table_Number_Lookup.xls. In the process of importing the ACS2013_1Yr, we found that some sequence numbers and starting numbers in the lookup Excel file and…
