I've been busy setting up the new set of geographies from the 2020 ACS and found that this year's set of ZCTAs is exactly the same as last year.32989 and they are all the same.
I know there have been a number of new zip codes created in the last…

Hi there - I'm trying to download a broad array of demographic data by MSA or zip code from the ACS through data.census.gov (e.g. age distribution for each MSA, gender makeup of each MSA). Does anyone know an efficient way to do this?
Table B09001 has data for 12-14 year olds and 15-17 year olds. This is likely the closest you can get for zip codes. I'd just divide 15-17 year olds by 3 and add to the 12-14 year olds to get 12-15. Zip data is only available off the 5-year datasets.…
