  • 1.  Census tables for LSC Basic Field General service areas, anyone use these?

    Hi, the Census makes custom tables for

    LSC receives custom estimates of LSC eligibility and a variety of economic and demographic data for LSC Basic Field General service areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). These custom tables are not available on the Census Bureau's website but are available for download here.

    The data is here;

    Just wanted to know if anyone has used these and what are some examples of how people use them.

    Thanks

    Tom

    Very interesting. Where do we find the geographies for the LSC Basic Field General service areas? Thanks.

    Here's a map: https://www.lsc.gov/grants/our-grantees

    I can't see these areas being useful to anyone outside of this organization, though. Too large. Why not use PUMAs instead? No need for a special tab.
