ACS Earnings by Occupation View Centroids

Overview This feature service provides nationwide geographic layers for examining median earnings by occupation from American Community Survey data. It includes state, county, and census tract layers, each representing geographic areas with associated earnings estimates for the civilian employed population and detailed occupation groups. Feature Layers State — State-level features with statewide median earnings measures and area attributes, supporting analysis of earnings patterns across the United States. County — County-level features with the same occupational earnings profile and county identification information, enabling local and regional comparison within each state. Tract — Census tract features with detailed earnings measures and parent state and county references for fine-grained neighborhood-scale analysis. Data Theme The layers focus on median earnings for full-time, year-round civilian workers age 16 and over, organized by broad occupational categories such as management, business and financial operations, computer and mathematical occupations, healthcare, service occupations, sales and office occupations, construction and maintenance, and transportation and material moving. The service also includes margin of error values for each earnings estimate, supporting confidence-aware interpretation of the American Community Survey estimates. Geographic Coverage The service covers the United States across state, county, and census tract geography. The spatial reference is web mercator, making the layers suitable for interactive web mapping and comparison in ArcGIS applications.
