ACS Data Feeds
Updated with Latest Census Data
The CDXZipStream ACS data feeds for state, county, ZIP
code (ZCTA), place, and CBSA (Core-Based Statistical Area) have been
updated with the latest data releases from the U.S. Census Bureau.
These data are from the American Community Survey, which surveys about
1 out of every 38 households every year. These feeds are available in
the CDXZipStream Premium ACS version.
Data for all geographies are aggregated over the years
2012 through 2016, except for states which are derived from the 2016
survey.
The demographic areas covered in all ACS feeds are:
age, population, household size, household income, individual
earnings, race and ethnicity, educational attainment, school
enrollment, housing value and rent, mortgage status, and marital
status. For a full listing of all data fields included in the feeds,
please download the CDXZipStream Data Feeds and Definitions
file here.
If you already own CDXZipStream ACS Premium, you can
update your data feeds by logging into your on-line account on
CDXTech.com and under My Account and Product Management, selecting
"Buy Data Update". To upgrade your current
license to the CDXZipStream ACS Premium version, select "Upgrade
License" in the account area and follow the purchasing process.
The latest data will automatically be included with your
purchase.

Get the Latest ACS Data by Census Tract
We've also updated the CDXZipStream Census Tract data
feed from the American Community Survey, with data aggregated over
the years 2012-2016. The feed includes all census tracts in
both the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and covers a wide array of demographic
data such as: age, individual earnings, educational attainment,
household size, household income, housing value and rent, marital
status, population, race, and school enrollment. Most of these
where relevant are also provided by gender.
To access the data, census tract codes (also referred
to as FIPS codes) must be provided as input to an Excel worksheet.
CDX Technologies also offers a free Excel template that can
identify census tract codes for an address list - please see the
article Get Census Tract FIPS Codes in an Excel Template
for more details.
Since census tracts are on average about half the size
of ZIP Codes, they offer a more precise demographic snapshot.
The census tract database is compatible with all
demographic versions of CDXZipStream. It is a separate purchase
and is currently priced at $199.95.

New Cloud-Based Radius Analysis Tool
We've just released a new free tool on our website, ZIP
Code Radius Report. This application
operates independently of Excel and does not require a CDXZipStream
license.
This software tool will allow you to find all U.S. ZIP
codes within a given radius. Just enter your central ZIP code,
specify a distance and press the "Generate Report" button.
The distance can be optionally specified in miles, kilometers or nautical
miles. A radius of up to 30 miles can be generated in the free tool.
The report contains the distance, latitude, and longitude and
distance type. Click on the down arrow next to the "Generate
Report" button on the report screen to download the data in csv
format.
