Census Data Tool

The EZAPOP provides access to national-, state-, and county-level population data for individual years detailed by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. For a specific example, this site allows you to get a count of Asian female 2-year-olds living in Ramsey County in 2020. This data is originally collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and subsequently modified by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

The KIDS COUNT Data Center, maintained by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, includes assessment indicators of child well-being in Minnesota and across the United States. Much of the Data Center's content is pulled from the Census website. Data about children of all ages and their families can be readily found in the Data Center.

To learn more about older children and adults in your county or state of interest, explore the population tables on the official Census website.

For limited school district-level demographic census information based on ACS five-year period estimates, visit the EDGE ACS website. On this site, data is available in the broader 0-5 age band under four topics. Instructions for accessing this data on the EDGE ACS website is included below. (If you are interested in understanding school district estimates alongside county information available on this page - select the appropriate five-year data set. Note: Direct comparisons are not advised due to differing measurements.)

1. In the American Community Survey - Education Tabulation (ACS-ED) Children section, choose your five-year estimate of interest by clicking on the blue table symbol beside it.
2. From the drop-down menus, select School District under Geography Type, identify your state, and choose the school district of interest.
3. Select Total Children.
4. In the Find Table drop-down, birth-5 estimates can be found under:
   • Child Population tables
   • Social: School Enrollment (Nursery school, preschool)
   • Economic: Employment Status (Children of householder under 6 years)
   • Economic: Percentage of Families and People Whose Income in the Past 12 Months is Below the Poverty Level
   • Demographic: Sex and Age

The Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops information resources to identify and understand the social and spatial context of education in the U.S. It uses data from the ACS to create custom indicators of social, economic, and housing conditions for school-age children and their parents. It also uses spatial data collected by NCES and the Census Bureau to create geographic locale indicators, school point locations, school district boundaries, and other types of educational geography to support spatial analysis.
