-- ACS 2020 5-year estimates -- annually updated demographic-economic data to the block group level March 2022 .. essential data to assess where we are, how things have changed and how things might change in the future down to the sub-neighborhood level. The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide annually updated demographic-economic data for national and sub-national geography. ACS provides a wide range of important data about people and housing for every community across the nation. The results are used by everyone from planners to retailers to homebuilders and issue stakeholders like you. ACS is a primary source of local data for most of the 40 topics it covers, such as income, education, occupation, language and housing.

Usage Notes The ACS Summary File, released annually and including separate 1-year and 5-year estimates (shown in far right column in above table) is comprised of table-item sets, Table numbers are shown in the left-most column in the above interactive table. A "C" table generally includes more aggregative items than a corresonding "B" table. Following the B/C character in the table number is a 2-digit subject matter code as shown in the list below. ACS table-items sets are comprised of one or more items. Items within a table are enumerated by the sequence code shown in column two of the above table. Column 3 in the above table shows the combined unique table-item code. This column is also used as the field name for the items when accessing and using the data. Column 4 in the above table show the table name, tabulation universe or item description. It is important to combine the description of the item with the table name and the universe for which the data have been tabulated. Subject Matter Codes - 01 Age - 02 Race - 03 Hispanic Origin - 04 Ancestry - 05 Foreign Born; Citizenship; Year or Entry; Nativity - 06 Place of Birth - 07 Residence 1 Year Ago; Migration - 08 Journey to Work; Workers Characteristics; Commuting - 09 Children; Household Relationship - 10 Grandparents; Grandchildren - 11 Household Type; Family Type; Subfamilies - 12 Marital Status and History - 13 Fertility - 14 School Enrollment - 15 Educational Attainment - 16 Language Spoken at Home and Ability to Speak English - 17 Poverty - 18 Disability - 19 Income (Households and Families) - 20 Earnings (Individuals) - 21 Veteran Status - 22 Transfer Programs (Public Assistance) - 23 Employment Status; Work Experience; Labor Force - 24 Industry; Occupation; Class of Worker - 25 Housing Characteristics - 26 Group Quarters - 27 Health Insurance - 28 Computer and Internet Use - 29 Citizen Voting-age Population Race and Hispanic Origin Many tables are provided in multiple racial tabulations. If a table code ends in a letter from A-I, that code indicates that the table universe is restricted to a subset based on responses to the race or Hispanic/Latino-origin questions. : - A White alone - B Black or African American Alone - C American Indian and Alaska Native Alone - D Asian Alone - E Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Alone - F Some Other Race Alone - G Two or More Races - H White Alone, Not Hispanic or Latino - I Hispanic or Latino Developing Extract Subject Matter Lists ... goto top The following process assumes that you are using a Windows computer to develop an subject matter extract file for use with the CV XE GIS software.

Further Drill-down; Houston, TX inner beltway area ... goto top patterns of economic prosperity by neighborhood; census tract Similar to the above view, the following graphic shows patterns of ACS 2018 5-year estimates of median family income ($MFI) by census tract with zoom-in to Houston, TX inner beltway area.

Larger view shows tracts labeled with $MFI (yellow label) and the census tract code (white label). Some tracts show the top coded value of $250,001, indicating the value is $250,000 or more. In this view, all tracts are within Harris County, TX (48201) so the 6 character tract code uniquely identifies the tract.  .. view created with ProximityOne CV XE GIS software and related GIS project. Tip of the Iceberg; Illustrating More Detailed Data in Profile/Tabular Form ... goto top Toward the center of the larger map shown for the Houston drill-down, above, note the two adjacent higher and lower $MFI tracts (100000 and 410100, or sometimes shown as 1000.00 and 4191.00). The $MFI values are item E086 shown in the economic profiles for these tracts accessed by clicking the links below. Using these organized profiles, it is easy to view related attributes of these tracts and how they are similar or different. Even with the approximate 522 subject matter items for the profiles, this set of subject matter items remains the "tip of the iceberg".

Advantages of using the 5-year estimates • the data are available for all census tracts and ZIP code areas. • the data are available for all cities/places, counties and school districts irrespective of size. Disadvantages of using the 5-year estimates • the data are older than the 1-year estimates. • the data are for a 5-year period rather than one year. • additional cautions in comparing estimates over time (see below). Advantages of using the 1-year estimates • the data are more recent than the 5-year estimates. • the data are generally more accurate than the 5-year estimates. Disadvantages of using the 5-year estimates • the data are not available for census tracts and ZIP code areas. • the data are available for only areas of 65,000 population and over. • the margin of error (MOE) of the estimate is normally larger that for the 5-year estimates. Additional cautions in comparing estimates over time • ACS 2012 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2008 through 2012. • ACS 2013 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2009 through 2013. • ACS 2014 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2010 through 2014. • ACS 2015 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2011 through 2015. • ACS 2016 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2012 through 2016. • ACS 2017 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2013 through 2017. • ACS 2018 5 year estimates are based on survey respondent data for the years 2014 through 2018. • The ACS 2012 5 year data & ACS 2013 5 year data are based on the same respondent data for the four years 2009 through 2012. • The ACS 2013 5 year estimates drop 2008 respondents and add 2013 respondents. • The ACS 2014 5 year estimates drop 2009 respondents and add 2014 respondents. • The ACS 2015 5 year estimates drop 2010 respondents and add 2015 respondents. • The ACS 2016 5 year estimates drop 2011 respondents and add 2016 respondents. • The ACS 2017 5 year estimates drop 2012 respondents and add 2017 respondents. • The ACS 2018 5 year estimates drop 2013 respondents and add 2018 respondents. • While 5-year estimates are independently developed annually, they include demographic-economic characteristics for some of the same respondents. Other considerations • Are the needed subject matter available from Census 2010? - ACS more detailed demographic-economic data (like income) may not be a plus. • Census 2010 provides more accurate data than ACS estimates. • Often there are more detailed age (and other) breakouts for subject matter in Census 2010 compared to ACS. • The most recent ACS-sourced small area data are from ACS 2017 (December 2018) 5-year estimates; - ACS 2017 5-year estimates are centric to 2015.
