New Geodatabases Pre-Joined with American Community Survey Data Now Available

TIGER/Line Geodatabases with American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates Data Profiles - 2010 & 2011

TIGER/Line Geodatabases with pre-joined 2006-2010 and 2007-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates data profiles are now available for select state and national level geographies.  Geodatabases are available for counties, metropolitan and micropolitan related statistical areas, and census tracts.  The types of ACS data included in these geodatabases are:

  • DP02 – Selected Social Characteristics in the United States
  • DP02PR – Selected Social Characteristics in Puerto Rico
  • DP03 – Selected Economic Characteristics
  • DP04 – Selected Housing Characteristics
  • DP05 – ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates

ACS data are collected on many topics including population, race, income, employment status, educational attainment, housing, ancestry, etc.  ACS 5-year estimate data represents 60 months of collection data and covers all areas of the United States and Puerto Rico.  More information about ACS 5-year estimates data.

The 2010 and 2011 TIGER/Line Geodatabases with pre-joined ACS 5-year estimates are available for download at http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-data.html.  In addition to pre-joined ACS data, each Geodatabase contains a metadata table.  Please refer to these metadata tables for attribute labels and definitions published in the pre-joined ACS data.     

The TIGER/Line Shapefiles used to create these Geodatabases are also available for download on the TIGER Products webpage.  Here, you will find many additional geographic area and linear feature shapefiles available for download, including the recently released 113th Congressional District TIGER/Line Shapefiles. No demographic data are available in these TIGER/Line Shapefiles products.

Data users interested in ACS data for individual data profiles or different time intervals can access and download data via the American FactFinder.

Geodatabases with the 2010 Census Summary File 1 demographic profile are also available on our website.

Data users can also access TIGERweb for quick reference mapping of TIGER/Line Shapefile data.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the release of our TIGER/Line Geodatabases with pre-joined demographic data or census geography.
