  • 1.  Source for Statewide 2005 Median Age. ACS? PEP? Other?

    Posted 04-04-2025 12:29 PM

    I am seeking 2005 statewide median age per ACS. But 2005 ACS is not on census site. Is it on NHGIS? I looked on NHGIS but don't see it. I'd also accept a median age by if it was included in Census 2005 PEP per the July pop and housing unit estimates. I don't see it there either.

    Any ideas of where to look?

    My last resort would be to compute my own per PUMS but that is not desirable.

    Thanks

    2005 ACS is only one-year data. so if you're looking for smaller geographies (5-year data) that is not available until 2009 - 2005-2009 were the first available 5 year data.

    2005 ACS 1-year data is available on the FTP and through the API
    https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-1year.2005.html#list-tab-843855098

    Thanks. I am only seeking statewide and it had to be single-year for this task. Much appreciated

    You can get it from MCDC. I think B01002 will have what you need: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/broker?_PROGRAM=utils.uex2dex.sas&path=/data/acs2005/basetbls&dset=b01002

    Filter on sumlevel = 040 for states

    Thanks Glenn. I actually went to your site after not finding it on NHGIS. I missed this offering!
