Re: [CTPP] API Request Table Codes

B02001 is Race, which includes population. 001E looks suspiciously like the sort of table designator you find in the downloaded summary file version of the ACS 5 year data. B02001_001 is the total population there, but I have no idea what the E is for. Mara Kaminowitz, GISP GIS Analyst .........................................................................

For example the ACS 5-year table number for "Total Population" is B01003, but in the examples of API requests here <http://www.census.gov/developers/> the table number used to fetch population statistics for California and New York is B02001_001E, which the master list would have me believe is the table code for race (plus the "_001E" which I'm mystified by). Is there a separate list of table IDs that the API recognizes / am I using the wrong lists? Sam Ennis
