American Community Survey (ACS) Educational Attainment Variables – Boundaries

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or Department) has identified processed, authoritative datasets to support the preliminary spatial analysis of equity considerations. These processed datasets are available at larger geographies, such as the United States Census Bureau tract or county-level; however, additional raw datasets from other sources can be used to identify equity considerations. Most of this raw data is available at the Census block group, parcel, or point-level—but additional processing is required to make suitable for spatial analysis. For more information, contact Dana Reiding with the FDOT Forecasting and Trends Office (FTO). The American Community Survey (ACS) Educational Attainment Variables – Boundaries layer is identified to support the equity community indicator of education. This layer contains the most current release of data from the ACS about education level for adults twenty-five and older (25+). Counts broken down by sex. These are 5-year estimates shown by tract, county, and state boundaries. The layer is owned and managed by the ESRI Demographics Team.
