  • 1.  Filter by all XX geos inside another geo?

    Posted 01-07-2020 12:32 PM

    Does anyone know whether data.census.gov can filter by nested geographies yet? Or when it might be able to?

    Specifically, I'm trying to locate total population (such as from DP-05) for all cities (places) within each congressional district (latest boundaries) from the 2018 ACS. Trying to identify the largest city by district.

    I could only locate 2 possibilities for the "container" geography, as shown below. Wondering if my best bet is just to use AFF and 2017 ACS data.

    Thanks-

    Andi

    I found that if I click place and then the state, I get the option to select congressional districts. However when I go through the districts I can't get any places. It kept popping up the conolidated cities menu instead, which was also empty. I tried to construct a deep link with the query but I also get an error. data.census.gov/.../table

    Ahh, yes. Tried that and got excited and then disappointed--just as you describe, Mara.
