Census Block Group Economically Distressed Areas 2016

This is a copy of the statewide Census Block Group GIS Tiger file. It is used to determine if a block group (BG) is EDA or not by adding ACS (American Community Survey) Median Household Income (MHI) and Population Density data at the BG level. The IRWM web based DAC mapping tool uses this GIS layer. Every year this table gets updated after ACS publishes their updated estimates. Created by joining 2016 EDA table to 2010 block groups feature class. The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB).
