Datasets for All Geographies

Datasets are provided here to download for analysis in spreadsheet, statistical, or geographic information systems software. Files are in fixed-length ASCII format, each with a separate layout file, and in .csv, a generic spreadsheet format. Files include Federal Information Processing System (FIPS) codes, which uniquely identify geographic areas

Select population totals and totals by demographic characteristics are also available in formatted tables by level of geography on the Current Estimates Data page.
