US Demographics Raw Data - It Must Be Somewhere Out There!
Hello everyone,

&amp;#x200B;

TL/DR; any raw, excel data on US Demographics based on location?

&amp;#x200B;

At my old company, I was the lead analyst for a REIT in the MOB space. We used ArcGIS for data collection and were able to collect a ton of data based on Census Tracts. Well, that costs money, and I am unfortunately not there anymore.

Does anyone know of a free/cost-effective platform that has that type of raw data? My team and I are trying to find as much information about a population as possible. Income, Age, Race, everything.

I have searched the US Census for that info, but I am unable to find that raw data for Excel. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for taking the time to read this.

My apologies on not explaining why I would need this information. \n\nWhat my team and I do is gather all this information and use a weighted average of these different markets to find the best population pockets for a particular acquisition. At the MOB REIT, we would weigh income, health insurance holders, and age higher than other metrics. Once we have that weighted average, we would then populate those census tracts a certain color showing those areas are worth looking into for acquisition. \n\nWe would use census and sub-census tracts to get more accuracy, but I can work with zip codes. It\u2019s just tougher because some zip codes can be humongous.", "replies": [{"id": "hy3nozd", "text": "Interesting!
