How do I find American Community Survey (ACS) data within a radius of a location?


In order to find American Community Survey (ACS) data within a certain radius of a location, you first need to get latitude and longitude values. You can use our Census Geocoder. Just type in an address under the Find Geographies tab and hit Get Results. The latitude and longitude will be below.

Next, copy and paste the latitude and longitude into the Circular Area Profiles (CAPs) from our Census affiliate, the Missouri Census Data Center. Then enter a radius you desire, in this case 10 mile. Scroll down to click on Generate Report. An ACS report of the latest 5-year data within the 10-mile radius will appear.
