All of the data included in the Atlas are aggregated into an Excel spreadsheet for easy download. These data are from a variety of sources and cover varying years and geographic levels. The Documentation section provides complete information on definitions and data sources.

In the Excel spreadsheet for download:

  • The data are arranged alphabetically, first by state and then by county. State and county FIPS codes are provided. The county list is from the 2000 census.

  • The variable lookup file links the short field descriptions (indicator names) used in the data file with the longer indicator names used the Atlas.

  • Unless otherwise noted with asterisks on the longer indicator names (in the variable lookup file), indicators are county-level measures. A single asterisk * denotes a state-level indicator while a double asterisk ** denotes a regional-level indicator.

  • ‘No data’ fields are empty or referenced with ‘-9999’.
