Brian,<br><br>Tell me something. Do you want to use these data for <i>individual</i> block groups or do you want to aggregate BGs to larger areas, such as TAZs?� I hope you know that the sampling errors for single BG data are so high as to render the data absolutely useless. I think that&#39;s why you can&#39;t find the numbers.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Brian Chenault from the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization here.� We are trying to collect several pieces of data at the
<b>block group</b> level using 2007-2011 ACS 5-year estimates.� Using the Census� Summary File Excel Retrieval Tool, we are able to retrieve basic population data at the block group level.� However, data at the block group level is not provided for poverty,
 language spoken at home, etc.� This appeared to be the case even when examining 2006-2010/2005-2009 5-year estimates.� Has this information not been �filtered down� from the census tract level yet?� How is one supposed to go about gathering this type of
<b>updated</b> information at the <b>block group level</b>?<u></u><u></u></p>
