To create a table, select one or more items in the Race/Ethnicity list,
one or more items in the MSA/PMSA list, any number of items in the
index list,
one or more years in the year list, a unit of analysis,
and press the Get Table button.
Note that indexes may be displayed in columns or in rows.
(Columns are generally preferable,
but tables with a large number of indexes
may be too wide to print.)
See list of the data that are not available.
Note that there is a limit to the size of a generated table; see
criteria for a table that is too large to display.
Criteria for a Table that is Too Large to Display
A table will be generated unless it is so large that it will take a browser
an excessively long time to load.
You may generate a smaller table
or, from these linked pages, you may download the data for all MSAs/PMSAs in
text file
or
Excel file
format.
A table is "too large to display" if it meets
any of the criteria below.
For tables with indices displayed in COLUMNs:
the number of selected places is between 101 and 249 AND
the number of selected races/ethnicities is 4 or more AND
the number of selected indices is 11 or more
the number of selected places is 250 or more AND
the number of selected races/ethnicities is 1
and the number of selected indices is 11 or more OR
the number of selected races/ethnicities is 2 or more
and the number of selected indices is 2 or more OR
the number of selected races/ethnicities is 3 or more
For tables with indices displayed in ROWs, a table will be created unless
the total number of rows exceeds 1800. The number of rows will be dependent upon the
number of selected items for:
races/ethnicities
places
indices
years
Note that since some races/ethnicities are not available for some years
(and this differs depending on whether the unit of analysis is Tract or Block Group),
the calculation of the number of rows is the number of each of these four selected
items multiplied together EXCLUDING the
data that are not available.
Note that there are:
51 MSAs/PMSAs with populations over 1 million
331 total MSAs/PMSAs
