Current year estimations and 5-year projections of core sociodemographic variables
Overview
ACS - Sociodemographics (USA, Census Block Groups, 2018)
The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis about the US nation and its people. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $675 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year. Through the ACS, we know more about jobs and occupations, educational attainment, veterans, whether people own or rent their homes, and other topics. Public officials, planners, and entrepreneurs use this information to assess the past and plan the future. The data is aggregated at the census block group level.

This listing is a free data product with a single pricing dimension and no charge. You access the Census block group sociodemographic dataset at no cost through AWS Marketplace.

The dataset is delivered directly into your cloud data warehouse for use in spatial analysis.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get sociodemographic data based on the American Community Survey, organized by U.S. Census block groups for 2018. Block groups are small statistical areas, so the data supports detailed local analysis. It is delivered as a ready-to-use dataset inside your cloud data warehouse.
No. This dataset is offered free, so there are no usage meters, tiers, or thresholds that trigger a charge. Analyzing it more, running more queries, or loading it into more maps does not increase your cost. Any charges you see would come from your own cloud data warehouse usage, not this listing.
The dataset is provided through native data-sharing in your cloud data warehouse. You access it directly where your other data lives, without managing copies across environments. This keeps the data ready to use for spatial analysis and always available through your established warehouse connection.
