Processing Notes:
  • Data was downloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau FTP site, imported into SAS format and joined to the 2020 TIGER boundaries. Boundaries are sourced from the 2020 TIGER/Line Geodatabases. Boundaries have been projected into Web Mercator and each attribute has been given a clear descriptive alias name. No alterations have been made to the vertices of the data.
  • Each attribute maintains it's specified name from Census, but also has a descriptive alias name and long description derived from the technical documentation provided by the Census. 
  • For a detailed list of the attributes contained in this layer, view the Data tab and select "Fields". 
  • The following alterations have been made to the tabular data:
    • Joined all tables to create one wide attribute table:
      • P1 - Race
      • P2 - Hispanic or Latino, and not Hispanic or Latino by Race
      • P3 - Race for the Population 18 Years and Over
      • P4 - Hispanic or Latino, and not Hispanic or Latino by Race for the Population 18 Years and Over
      • H1 - Occupancy Status (Housing)
      • P5 - Group Quarters Population by Group Quarters Type (correctional institutions, juvenile facilities, nursing facilities/skilled nursing, college/university student housing, military quarters, etc.)
      • Header
    • After joining, dropped fields: FILEID, STUSAB, CHARITER, CIFSN, LOGRECNO, GEOVAR, GEOCOMP, LSADC.
    • GEOCOMP was renamed to GEOID and moved be the first column in the table, the original GEOID was dropped.
    • Placeholder fields for future legislative districts have been dropped: CD118, CD119, CD120, CD121, SLDU22, SLDU24, SLDU26, SLDU28, SLDL22, SLDL24 SLDL26, SLDL28.
    • P0020001 was dropped, as it is duplicative of P0010001. Similarly, P0040001 was dropped, as it is duplicative of P0030001.
    • In addition to calculated fields, County_Name and State_Name were added.
    • The following calculated fields have been added (see long field descriptions in the Data tab for formulas used): 
      • PCT_P0030001: Percent of Population 18 Years and Over

    • Please note these percentages might look strange at the individual block level, since this data has been protected using differential privacy.*
*To protect the privacy and confidentiality of respondents, data has been protected using differential privacy techniques by the U.S. Census Bureau. This means that some individual blocks will have values that are inconsistent or improbable. However, when aggregated up, these issues become minimized. The pop-up on this layer uses Arcade to display aggregated values for the surrounding area rather than values for the block itself.
