ACS Occupants Per Room Centroids

Overview This feature service provides county, state, and census tract centroid layers for American Community Survey housing crowding indicators based on occupants per room. It brings together geographic boundary centroids with census-derived housing estimates and margins of error, supporting analysis of occupied housing, ownership and rental patterns, and crowding conditions across multiple geographic levels. Feature Layers State: State-level centroid features with standard geographic identifiers, land and water area, state names and abbreviations, and American Community Survey estimates for occupied housing units, owner-occupied and renter-occupied households, age-of-householder breakdowns, crowding categories, and race or ethnicity group summaries for households by occupants per room. County: County-level centroid features with county identifiers, state association, land and water area, and the same American Community Survey housing occupancy and crowding measures, including ownership and renter tenure, age group breakdowns, and household race and ethnicity summaries. Tract: Census tract centroid features with tract identifiers, county and state names, land and water area, and American Community Survey housing indicators describing total occupied units, owner and renter households, age-of-householder categories, crowding levels, and race or ethnicity group patterns for households. Geographic Coverage The service covers the United States at state, county, and census tract scales. The layers are designed for multi-scale thematic mapping and regional comparison using centroid-based geographic features. Use Cases Mapping housing crowding and occupants-per-room conditions across the United States Comparing owner-occupied and renter-occupied household patterns by geography Analyzing household crowding by age group, race, and ethnicity Supporting census-based demographic and housing dashboards Providing input for regional planning, housing policy, and equity analysis Data Notes The content is based on American Community Survey housing estimates and related margin-of-error values, organized as centroid feature layers for states, counties, and census tracts.
