Featured Question

*Why does my table not show all of my selected geographies?*

When the returned results do not produce the expected number of geographies, it is often a result of the 1-Year Estimates being used, instead of the 5-Year Estimates. ACS 1-Year Estimates are only available for geographies with 65,000 people or more, and the tables go through additional data quality filtering. To change the table [ [link removed] ] from 1-Year Estimates to 5-Year Estimates, use the Product drop-down menu found near the top of the table.

Switching from 1-Year to 5-Year Estimates will provide data for the remainder of the geographies.
