ACS Data Users Group

Hello fellow users,

I recently downloaded the 2013 5yr ACS summary file for Michigan, Tracts and Block Groups Only. You can access these files here: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2013/data/5_year_by_state/. I am interested in table B25002 (Occupancy status for housing units) particularly, so I am looking particularly at e20135mi0102000.txt and m20135mi0102000.txt. Oddly enough, I find that all table shell values are missing! This issue appears to be affecting the sequences 85-102. I tried downloading a second time and saw the same results.

Does anyone else observe this? Is there are a rationale for these missing values? How could I access information for small geographies in Michigan from 2013 5 yr estimates for housing-related tables?

Thank you for any insight you can provide!

Hi Val,

It looks like Table B25002 is in sequence 0103, not 0102. Sequences 85-102 are tables available only at the national level. I found this information in the 5-year Appendices at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/data/summary-file/sequence-based.2013.html#list-tab-1020540470
