Social: Education & Veteran Status (Census)

With Geocodio, you can match addresses or coordinates to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey on education levels, veteran status, and length of military service. You can click the "social" append in Step 4 of the upload process to get this data.

This data is for the Census Block Group. It is not for the individual household. Please note, you must provide either street + ZIP, street + city + state, an intersection, or coordinates in order to receive Census results back. We do not provide this data for ZIP codes or city/state pairs. (If your data contains locations without street addresses, you will not be charged for the data append for those locations.)

This data is provided at the Census Block Group level and is available from the most recent five-year American Community Survey, which is currently the 2021 survey results published in 2022. (The 1-year American Community Surveys do not have granularity at this level.)

Census Education/Veteran Data Returned

We provide the data exactly as it is packaged by the Census Bureau in the breakouts it gives. The only change we have made is to add a "percentage" calculation to aid ease of use.

The data returned includes the following data points. For each data point, the data returned includes the value, margin of error, and percentage.

Cost

Requests are billed as geocode + ACS Social info (i.e., two lookups). For example, if you have 100 addresses that you want Veteran and Education information for, that would count as 200 lookups.

You can calculate how much this will cost you and how long it will take here.
