Advanced demographics
The following updates were made to advanced demographics:
United States
This release includes Census 2020 Redistricting data and updates to Traffic data.
Census 2020 Redistricting data—This release includes Census 2020 Redistricting data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Topics include detailed information about the U.S. population by race, Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, group quarters, and housing status. In addition, Esri has made it even easier to work with 2020 Census data by including
- Additional calculations for Hispanic population by race and Population under 18 years of age by race.
- Key attributes from 2010 Census and 2000 Census for direct comparison with 2020 Census.
- Corresponding Census Field IDs and for any Esri-derived calculations, mathematical expressions with Census Field IDs.
- Additional levels of geography: ZIP codes, Designated Market Areas (DMA), and any custom area.
Traffic Counts—The Traffic Counts from Kalibrate tracks peak and low traffic volume by the number of vehicles that cross a certain street location (vintage Q4 2021).
Canada
This release contains the annual update to the Environics Analytics datasets. The 2021 data release reflects the impacts of the pandemic which resulted in more change than typically expected year over year:
- The most notable change within DemoStats (current year estimates) is a decline in population growth, due to a slowdown in immigration. Additionally, more than usual year over year change is evident with Labour Force employment/unemployment rates. The impact on employment rates can also be observed in other topics such as Occupation, Place of Work, and Method of Travel to Work.
- With the transition to working from home due to COVID-19, there is an observable change in the population working from home instead of their usual place of work.
- When it comes to the expenditure data in HouseholdSpend, most of the year over year change can be explained by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Categories and variables such as Pre-recorded media, downloads and audio/video media, Household appliances, and Household equipment saw an increase in expenditures. Areas such as Movie theatres, Transportation by airplane, Public transportation, Casinos, bingos and gaming machines, Alcoholic beverages served on licensed premises, and Childcare saw a decrease in expenditures.
- This year's update to PRIZM includes an update to the variable names in the PRIZM system.
