Data Updates (September 2021)

Posted on by glenn

Just a couple of late updates this time. They’re late because the raw data was released later than usual due to COVID and the decennial census.

  • NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) “bridged race” estimates for 2020, including state- and county-level numbers with detail by single years of age, race, sex, and Hispanic origin. These datasets are located in the nchsbri directory of our data archive. Note that we are starting a new decade here, so the new files will contain only the vintage 2020 estimates. Next year’s updates will include 2020 and 2021, and so on for the rest of this decade.
  • New 2020 data for the State/county annual population change, Population trends with demographics, and Population estimates by age applications.

As always, please contact the MCDC website manager with any questions or comments.

PL94-171 Redistricting Data is In

Posted on by glenn

The PL94-171 (redistricting) data from the 2020 decennial census is now available in the MCDC data collection.

This is the first major data release of the 2020 Census, comprising race / ethnicity / voting age demographics, along with housing tenure, for all U.S. geographic areas down to the census block level.

MCDC’s new collection (/data/pl942020) includes data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The collection contains two datasets per state, one each with totals ([SS]sums) and detail ([SS]detail). The sums datasets will be most useful for our regular users.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau,

Public Law (P.L.) 94-171, enacted by Congress in December 1975, requires the Census Bureau to provide states the opportunity to identify the small area geography for which they need data in order to conduct legislative redistricting. The law also requires the U.S. Census Bureau to furnish tabulations of population to each state, including for those small areas the states have identified, within one year of Census day.

Over the coming days and weeks, we will add more datasets to this collection, including U.S. level and some trends.

For questions or technical assistance, please contact Glenn Rice at MCDC.

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Tables for 2006-2010

Posted on by glenn

MCDC is pleased to announce the debut of the 2006-2010 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Tables in our data archive.

The Census Bureau’s EEO tabulations have served as the primary external benchmark for comparing the race, ethnicity, and sex composition of an organization’s internal workforce, and the analogous external labor market, within a specified geography and job category. These are used by organizations to develop and update their affirmative action plans.

MCDC currently has two sets of Equal Employment Opportunity tabulations (aka EEO tabs) in its data collection. In the next few months, we will be adding the latest EEO tabs (2014-2018) to our collection as well.

Data Updates (June 2021)

Posted on by glenn

The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) program data is now located in its own directory (sahie) in our data archive.

We’ve updated our SAS datasets pertaining to population estimates.

  • Population and components of change estimates: 2020 data added for Missouri and USA. These datasets are located in the popests directory of our data archive. The uscom20 dataset includes estimates of the total population of counties, states, and the US for July 1 of each year from 2010 to 2020, along with annual birth, death, international and domestic migration estimates (the components of change). The ushuest2020 dataset includes estimates of total housing units by county for each year from 2010 through 2020. The ussc20 dataset includes estimates of the total population of places (cities) and other subcounty geographic areas for each year starting with 2010 and ending with 2020. All of these datasets have corresponding Missouri-only versions, e.g. mohuest2020 for MO housing unit estimates.
  • Curmoests (current MO estimates): This Excel spreadsheet includes the latest available (July 1, 2020) population estimates for Missouri counties and places (incorporated cities).

Coming next month:
