Census Variables
This page lists the properties on the Census tract and block group datasets. Counties, places, ZCTAs and the other boundary levels carry the same ACS properties; the last section says where they differ. Read the Census data guide first for how the datasets work, how GEOIDs are built, and how to query them.
The lists below come from each dataset’s field dictionary. You can pull the live version for any dataset:
curl -H "x-api-key: $PLAZA_API_KEY" \ "https://plaza.fyi/api/v1/datasets/census-tracts/dictionary"A few things apply to every table:
- Property names never change between releases. The Census Bureau renumbers its variable codes, so Plaza matches each property to the current release by label and keeps the name stable.
- Estimates come from the American Community Survey (ACS) 2024 5-year release. Properties ending in
_2020come from the 2020 Census redistricting file.popest_properties come from the Population Estimates Program. - A value of
yesin the MOE column means a<name>_moeproperty holds the 90% margin of error for that estimate. - Census “no estimate” codes such as
-666666666are stored asnull. A null means the Census Bureau did not publish an estimate for that area, not zero. - Properties are numbers except
geoid,name,lsad,state_abbr,state_fipsandvintage. Percent properties run from 0 to 100. - Filter on them with
t["name"]in PlazaQL and wrap the value innumber(). In the REST API, use them asexprfor aggregates.
Tracts
Section titled “Tracts”census-tracts and census-tracts-cb carry the properties below. Where a profile table and a detailed table both report a concept, the detailed version has a _detailed suffix. For example, median_household_income comes from the ACS profile table and median_household_income_detailed from the detailed table. They can differ slightly.
