-- analyzing patterns & trends: ACS 2012-2017 February 2019. The U.S. civilian employed population increased from 142.9 million in 2012 to 155.1 million in 2017, an increase of 12.1 million (8.5%) based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates. The table presented below shows how the employed population were distributed by occupation in 2012, 2017 and the 5-year change. Patterns of Percent Employed in Health Occupations by Census Tract The following graphic shows patterns of the employed population in health occupations as a percent of total civilian employed population ages 16 and over in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro. This view uses the occupational category MBSA40 Healthcare practitioners and technical listed in scroll section below. Tracts with blue or green pattern exceed the national average as shown in table below. Click graphic for larger view, more detail (shows schools layer) and legend color/data intervals. This map illustrates the geographic level of detail available using census tract demographics and the relative ease to gain insights using geospatial data analytics tools. View graphic below showing tract with the largest employment in the "Healthcare practitioners and technical" occupational group among all tracts. - View developed using CV XE GIS and related GIS project. Drill-down to Census Tract Level Examining patterns of employment by occupation, for the same scope of subject matter, at the sub-county level can provide more insights. What is the size of the employment for a selected occupation in a neighborhood or market/service area of interest? How has the size of an occupational group by census tract changed over the past five years? How do these patterns rank/compare by tract in a particular state, metro or county? Data on employment by occupational category from the Federal statistical system on a U.S. national scale for counties, cities and census tracts are only available from the American Community Survey (ACS). This section is focused on tools, resources and methods that you can use to access, integrate and analyze employment by occupation for the U.S. by census tract. Use the interactive table in this section to view, query, rank, compare census tract occupational characteristics, patterns and trends. Data in this section are based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 2017 5-year estimates. Related sections with census tract interactive tables: - General Demographics .. Social .. Economic .. Housing Current Estimates & Projections ACS tract/small area estimates lag by four years or more between the current year and reference year. ACS does not produce current year annual estimates but estimates based on a 5-year period. The 2017 ACS estimates are centric to 2015. Use the ProximityOne annual tract estimates and projections 2010 through 2023 for current year (e.g., characteristics as of 2018) estimates and anticipated change 5 years ahead. Using the Interactive Table Use the interactive ranking table below to view, query, rank, compare employment by occupation by census tract. The scroll box shown below lists each of the occupational groups available for each tract via the interactive table. The item name at the left of the occupational category is used as the short name for the subject matter item in the column header in the table. The table contains one row/record for each census tract in the U.S. Columns show ACS 2012 and 2017 employment by occupation. Occupational Group Items

Importance of Census Tracts for Data Analytics .. goto top Census tracts are important for many reasons. Covering the U.S. wall-to-wall, census tracts are the preferred "small area" geography for superior data analytics. The Census Bureau now produces annual tract demographic-economic data from the American Community Survey; .. there is an evolving time-series at the tract level creating new analytical opportunities. Originally developed to equivalence neighborhoods, many still do. Defined by the Census Bureau in collaboration with local groups, .. tracts typically reflect boundaries meaningful for local area analysis. Defined generally for use with each new decennial census, most tract boundaries are stable .. and non-changing for ten years and many much longer. Designed to average 4,000 population, .. there are more than twice as many census tracts (73,056) than ZIP code areas (33,129). Tract boundaries are well-defined; unlike ZIP code areas which are subject to multi-sourced geographic definitions. Many data developers (e.g., epidemiologists) use census tract geography to tabulate their own small area data .. enabling more effective use of those data with Census Bureau census tract data. A statistical geographic area (in contrast to politically defined areas), .. census tracts are coterminous with counties; .. data at the census tract level can be aggregated to the county level. Small area estimates for tracts are typically more reliable than for block groups. .. census tracts are comprised on one or more coterminous block groups. .. on average, a census tract is comprised of three block groups. Census tracts are used by many Federal, state and local governments for compliance and program management. The ACS provides "richer" demographic-economic characteristics for national scope census tracts. While Census 2010 provides data similar to those items in the General Demographics section, only ACS sourced data provide details on topics such as income and poverty, labor force and employment, housing value and costs, educational participation and attainment, language spoken at home, among many related items. The approximate 600 items accessible via the tract dataset are supplemented by a wide range of additional subject matter. ACS census tract data are updated annually in December of each year. Find Geocodes Based on Address .. go top Summary of steps to use the "Find tract code based on address..." tool located in the upper right of this page. Enter an address in the three line form (no ZIP code). Click Find button and the census tract and related geocodes are returned. Copy the last 11 digits of the returned GEOID to clipboard (e.g., 06085508101). Paste that value in the edit box to the right of the "Select Area" button below the interactive table. Replace the first two characters (e.g., 06) with the uppercase USPS state abbreviation (e.g. CA).
