  • American Community Survey (ACS): Ongoing survey providing detailed socioeconomic and demographic estimates.
  • TIGER/Line: Geographic and cartographic boundary files for administrative geographies (states, counties, tracts, block groups, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas).
  • Economic surveys: Business, industry, and economic indicator data.

Use in Knowledge Graphs

Census data serves as an upstream source for multiple knowledge graphs, including the Cancer Registry KG (socioeconomic linkage) and KnowWhereGraph (administrative geographies and demographics).

  • Census Data API: Programmatic access for developers (https://www.census.gov/data/developers.html).
