ACS Children with Grandparent Householder Variables - Boundaries

Retirement Notice: This item is in mature support as of February 2026 and will retire in December 2027. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. This layer shows children in grandparent households by age. This is shown by tract, county, and state boundaries. This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Only children in households in which the grandparent is the householder are included here. This is different from children in multigenerational households. This layer is symbolized to show the percentage of children who are in the care of grandparents. To see the full list of attributes available in this service, go to the "Data" tab, and choose "Fields" at the top left. Vintage: 2019-2023 ACS Table(s): B10001, B10002, B09001 (Not all lines of ACS table B09001 are available in this feature layer.) Data downloaded from: Census Bureau's API for American Community Survey Date of API call: December 12, 2024 National Figures: data.census.gov The United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS): About the Survey Geography & ACS Technical Documentation News & Updates This ready-to-use layer can be used within ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online and its configurable apps, dashboards, Story Maps, custom apps, and mobile apps. Data can also be exported for offline workflows. For more information about ACS layers, visit the FAQ. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data. Data Note from the Census: Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables. Data Processing Notes: This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule. Click here to learn more about ACS data releases. Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases, specifically, the National Sub-State Geography Database (named tlgdb_(year)_a_us_substategeo.gdb). Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines erased for cartographic and mapping purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2020 Areal Hydrography boundaries offered by TIGER. Water bodies and rivers which are 50 million square meters or larger (mid to large sized water bodies) are erased from the tract level boundaries, as well as additional important features. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. These are erased to more accurately portray the coastlines and Great Lakes. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters). The States layer contains 52 records - all US states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico Census tracts with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service (Census Tracts beginning with 99). Percentages and derived counts, and associated margins of error, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name), and abide by the specifications defined by the American Community Survey. Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page. Negative values (e.g., -4444...) have been set to null, with the exception of -5555... which has been set to zero. These negative values exist in the raw API data to indicate the following situations: The margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate. Either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. The median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution, or in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate. The estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. The data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.

退役通知：本产品自2026年2月起进入成熟支持阶段，并将于2027年12月正式退役。目前已有该产品的新版本可供使用。Esri建议您更新地图与应用，以适配新版本。

本图层按普查分区（tract）、县、州界展示祖父母家庭中的未成年儿童年龄分布情况。本服务每年更新一次，以纳入最新发布的美国社区调查（American Community Survey, ACS）5年期数据，包含估算值与误差边际。此外还提供与该主题相关的额外计算属性，可用于制图或分析。

此处仅统计祖父母作为户主的家庭中的未成年儿童，这与多代同堂家庭中的儿童统计范围不同。本图层通过符号化展示由祖父母照料的儿童占比。若要查看本服务中可用属性的完整列表，请前往「数据」选项卡，并选择左上角的「字段」菜单。

美国人口普查局美国社区调查（American Community Survey, ACS）：关于本调查、地理与ACS技术文档、新闻与更新

本现成可用的图层可在ArcGIS Pro、ArcGIS Online及其可配置应用、仪表板、故事地图（Story Maps）、自定义应用与移动应用中使用。数据亦可导出用于离线工作流。

如需了解更多ACS图层相关信息，请访问常见问题解答（FAQ）。使用本数据时，请引用美国人口普查局与ACS。

美国人口普查局数据说明：本数据基于抽样调查，存在抽样变异性。由抽样变异性导致的估算值不确定程度通过误差边际体现。此处展示的为90%置信水平的误差边际，其含义为：估算值减去误差边际与估算值加上误差边际所构成的区间（即置信上下限），有90%的概率包含真实数值。除抽样变异性外，ACS估算值还存在非抽样误差（关于非抽样变异性的讨论，请参阅《数据准确性》文档）。本表格未体现非抽样误差的影响。

数据处理说明：本图层将在每年最新版ACS数据发布时自动更新，通常为每年12月。本图层始终包含最新可用的ACS 5年期估算值，更新时间与美国人口普查局的发布日程相差不超过数日。点击此处可了解更多ACS数据发布相关信息。

边界数据源自美国人口普查局TIGER地理数据库（TIGER），具体为全国次级州地理数据库（命名格式为tlgdb_(年份)_a_us_substategeo.gdb）。边界数据与数据同步每年更新一次，且边界年份与美国人口普查局指定的数据年份完全匹配。为制图与绘图需求，本图层已移除普查边界中的水体与/或海岸线。
对于普查分区（tract），水体裁剪源自2020年面积水文边界的子集（由TIGER提供）。面积≥5000万平方米的水体与河流（中小型以上水体）以及其他重要要素已从分区级边界中移除。
对于州与县级边界，水体与海岸线源自2023年500k分辨率TIGER制图边界形状文件的海岸线。已移除相关要素以更精准地呈现海岸线与五大湖轮廓。
原始的AWATER与ALAND字段仍可作为数据表中的属性使用（单位为平方米）。

州图层共包含52条记录，涵盖美国所有州、哥伦比亚特区与波多黎各。
本数据服务已移除位于水体区域（如海洋）且无人口的普查分区（以99开头的普查分区）。

占比、衍生计数及相关误差边际均为计算所得值（可通过字段名中的「_calc_」前缀识别），并遵循美国社区调查的相关规范。字段别名基于美国社区调查汇总文件文档页面提供的表壳文件创建。

除-5555…已被设置为0外，其余负值（例如-4444…）均已被设置为空值。这些负值在原始API数据中用于表示以下场景：
1. 误差边际列显示：无可用样本观测值或样本观测值过少，无法计算标准误差，因此无法得到误差边际，不适合进行统计检验。
2. 无可用样本观测值或样本观测值过少，无法计算估算值；或无法计算中位数比率，因为其中一个或两个中位数估算值落在开放式分布的最低区间或最高区间内。
3. 中位数落在开放式分布的最低区间或最高区间内。
4. 不适合进行统计检验。
5. 估算值已受控。
6. 不适合进行抽样变异性统计检验。
7. 由于样本量过小，无法展示该地理区域的数据。
