The Missouri Census Data Center is making available a new series of vintage 2011 5-year period estimates data from the American Community Survey.  These datasets are for the entire U.S. and for a wide array of geographic summary levels.  See http://mcdc.missouri.edu/whatsnew/year2013.shtml#jan01  for details.

Subject: [CTPP] ACS 5-year Estimates

Hello,

Brian Chenault from the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization here.  We are trying to collect several pieces of data at the block group level using 2007-2011 ACS 5-year estimates.  Using the Census’ Summary File Excel Retrieval Tool, we are able to retrieve basic population data at the block group level.  However, data at the block group level is not provided for poverty, language spoken at home, etc.  This appeared to be the case even when examining 2006-2010/2005-2009 5-year estimates.  Has this information not been “filtered down” from the census tract level yet?  How is one supposed to go about gathering this type of updated information at the block group level?

Much appreciated,

Brian
