Appendix G

American Community Survey 5-Year Data Products

Tables of ACS 5-year data for census tracts and block groups are available through the American FactFinder web site (http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml). Block group tables are fewer in number and less detailed than the full table set, both to protect the confidentiality of respondents and because of small sample sizes (and, thus, imprecision) at the block group level. Table G-1 below lists some of the 5-year tables of potential interest for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, indicating which ones are available for census tracts only and which for both tracts and block groups.
