About the Data

Disclaimer

I started from a academic research project for personal use. I don’t promise for data accuracy, please use with your own risk.

Where the data comes from?

The data is crawled from data.census.gov. There’s data tool allows you to explore 1300+ data points of a zipcode. You can play it yourself with this link https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=94103.

Is this data set Up-to-Date?

Even the data.census.gov use different source for different data fields. For example, the latest general population / income / education data by zipcode are still from Census2010. But population over time data are based from IRS until FY 2018.

In general, static statistic data are from Census 2010. Demographic statistics over time has data utill 2020.
