2023 Big Sky GeoCon - Common Ground | Building Connections with GIS

A lack of detailed population counts available in the intercensal period has troubled data users since the introduction of the modern census. Aside from local efforts to track and record housing and population change, the federal government now has a new dataset to assist in this effort. Called the Address Count Listing Files, these data represent the latest available count of housing units by census block updated bi-annually. These files are created for all 50 States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Island Areas. The latest data release was in January of 2023. More information on these files and how to download them can be found here: https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/2023/geo/addcountlisting.html
