This dataset contains the US Census Bureau 2020 Census Block Groups for the State of Florida with selected fields from the 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS). Some of the fields included in this dataset are total population, education, and housing and economic characteristics. This data is at the block group level. The ACS was designed to replace the long-form of the decennial census. The ACS is a survey that releases data annually. ACS data are survey estimates distributed for 1-, 3-, and 5-year time periods. The 5-year estimates are the only time period estimates that provide data at the block group level. This data is designed for use within the Florida Department of Transportation Efficient Transportation Decision Making Process (ETDM). However, the subset of ACS fields included herein is useful for a variety of applications and uses.
