Data behind the rating

3 sources

2020–2024 U.S. Census ACS 5-Year — S2403 Resident Industry

2020–2024 estimates; released January 29, 2026

Data: Direct place-level counts and published 90% margins for civilian employed residents age 16 and over across 13 exhaustive broad industry groups.
What it tells us: Shows the industries in which residents work during the survey reference period; it does not count jobs, establishments, or employers physically located in the place.

2020–2024 U.S. Census ACS 5-Year — C24030 Cross-Check

2020–2024 estimates; released January 29, 2026

Data: Detailed male and female resident industry counts used to independently reproduce each direct combined-sex S2403 sector estimate.
What it tells us: Corroborates the direct 13-sector inputs; it does not change the public score or turn the resident measure into a local-employer measure.

U.S. Census Bureau — ACS Accuracy Guidance

2024 ACS technical documentation

Data: Official guidance for interpreting 90% margins of error and the limitations of approximating uncertainty for ratios and derived combinations.
What it tells us: Supports the conservative score-confidence safeguard; the multivariate envelope is not presented as a formal simultaneous confidence interval.
