Housing Characteristics of DC Census Tracts 2018-2022 5-Year ACS

Metadata Updated: April 30, 2024

Occupancy status, Units, Rooms, Year built, Owner/Renter (Tenure), Mortgage/Rent costs, and more.  This service is updated annually with American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data.  Contact:  District of Columbia, Office of Planning.  Email:  planning@dc.govGeography:  Census TractsCurrent Vintage: 2018-2022ACS Table(s): DP04Data downloaded from: Census Bureau's API for American Community Survey Date of API call: January 2, 2024National Figures: data.census.gov The United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS):About the SurveyGeography & ACSTechnical DocumentationNews & UpdatesThis ready-to-use layer can be used within ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, its configurable apps, dashboards, Story Maps, custom apps, and mobile apps. Data can also be exported for offline workflows. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data. Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data).  The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables. Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule. Click here to learn more about ACS data releases.Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases. Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters). Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page.Data processed using R statistical package and ArcGIS Desktop.Margin of Error was not included in this layer but is available from the Census Bureau.  Contact the Office of Planning for more information about obtaining Margin of Error values.
