Andrew Hait: Invite every person to this mid-day'' s. webinar on the COVID-19 Data Hub. My name once again is Andrew Hait. I'' m an Economist at the US Census Bureau at.
our headquarters office in Maryland. And also today we are mosting likely to be doing a couple.
of things. Initially, we'' re going to be offering a review.
of several of the key programs that we have that are available in the COVID-19 Data Center. My colleague Billy Gamble is going to speak.
concerning the demographic information from the American Community Survey that remains in the COVID-19 hub. He'' ll talk a little concerning the data. that we specifically chose and also maybe why those data were chosen to be consisted of.
in the COVID-19 Information Center the info that they can offer that can be useful to folks.
who are trying to recognize the prospective impact of the pandemic on our neighborhood communities.
and also it'' s locals. Then, I'' m going to be taking over and also chatting.
concerning the company stats, the opposite of the Census Bureau, the economic details.
on the employer businesses and also other self-employed individuals that are included in the COVID-19 Information.
Hub.In that section of the discussion I'' ll likewise. talk about a number of the programs that we stood at the Demographics Bureau particularly.
designed to accumulate details regarding the actual impacts of the pandemic on our homes.
and on people. Then I'' m mosting likely to proceed and really do.
a real-time demonstration of the current version of the Center. Currently I recognize when you all joined to participate in.
this Webinar you subscribed to discover the brand-new Version 2.0 of the hub. It'' s intriguing to note that really last. evening (around 10:00 pm) we launched Version 2.1. So today we'' re going to be speaking a little. bit regarding what ' s coming. A few of what I originally stated was going to.
be upcoming we'' ve really already launched. As well as I think that is kind of a sign of.
how not just fluid this center has been but exactly how nimble the project has been.As the pandemic has advanced so have the stats. that we consist of in the COVID-19 Information Center. Version 2.0 was a substantial upgrade to the. Hub and also we ' ll yap concerning what we ' ve consisted of because upgrade and what you can in fact.
use from that upgrade; how you can make use of that information. However I'' ll likewise chat a little bit regarding what we simply. upgraded in Version 2.1.
Ultimately, we will certainly provide you a sneak peek of some.
of the various other things that are can be found in Version 2.2 as well as in potential future updates of the.
hub. A crucial factor that I intend to make after that (and.
I'' ll make it now )is that you all have a duty in shaping what type of info.
is included in this center. The responses that we have obtained from our.
individuals in this certain program on this particular project has actually been important. It has actually considerably recommended us on what information.
that we want to include. Which responses has not just originate from private.
market information users yet also from the federal government too. So you'' ll in fact see that in the demo
of. the hub.Finally, we'' ll be taking some questions at
. completion. For those of you who linked using the sound.
program we will be entering your inquiries using the conversation attribute and we will certainly be addressing.
those questions at the end. For those of you that do that did in fact call.
know your phone we'' ll have the ability to take those questions at the end by means of the telephone. So, to get us began, I simply want to talk.
really quickly regarding what is the United States Census Bureau. You all would have to be living under a rock.
to understand that we have not that we did not simply complete collection of data from the decennial.
census.Every 10 years we do a complete count of.
the US population. And also to a lot of Americans that is the major.
thing that we do. If I had a dollar for every single time a person claimed.
to me, “” I understand what you all do it once every 10 years, what do you do the various other 9,”” I.
would certainly be retired by now. Actually we conduct even more than 130 monthly,.
quarterly and yearly as well as routine programs every single single year. These consist of group or household-based.
surveys like the decennial census but they likewise consist of a program called the American.
Area Study that Billy'' s mosting likely to be discussing in just a moment.This is a superb source that offers. extraordinary comprehensive demographic, socioeconomic and real estate information that you all can utilize not. only to understand the possible impacts of the pandemic yet that you likewise can make use of in. area economic development. Small business owners utilize these information all the. time to investigate their markets and also establish is currently a great time and also a good location to open up. a certain business I ' m taking into consideration? So, this is a terrific resource. It is a key information product that I send a great deal. of users to and with any luck you all are vital customers of it also. In addition to the American Neighborhood Survey,. however, we additionally conduct 58 company surveys.
Every 5 years we do a complete economic. demographics that gauges every employer business in the United States, yet we also do a demographics. of governments as well as a range of various other programs.
Keeping that I ' d like to turn it over to Billy. that will now talk with us concerning the American Area Study. Billy it ' s all yours. Billy Wager: All right just waiting for the. speaker round here. All right well excellent afternoon everybody and also. thank you Andy. My name is Billy Wager as Andy stated.I work
in the outreach and also education and learning branch. below at the
American Neighborhood Study office.
As well as I wish to provide you a little details. about the American Community Survey which is frequently referred to as the air conditioning and what. it gives to the COVID hub. Yet before that allowed ' s do some quick history. information on'the a/c. So the air conditioning is the country
' s most current reliable. and also easily accessible information resource for statistics on crucial topics.And annually 3.5 million houses are. checked and also the ACS aids to designate greater than $675 billion of federal costs each.
year. There are over 40 subjects covered in the survey. as well as these subjects support over 300 federal government makes use of. Currently ACS data is released annually with.
3 key information releases. As well as this is composed of our one year estimates,. our one year supplemental price quotes as well as our five
year price quotes which is the information used. in the COVID hub.
So on the previous slide I did mention there. are 40 topics covered in the air conditioner.
The subjects gathered can be grouped into 4. main characteristics including social, demographic, financial and also real estate characteristics.Social characteristics consist of topics such
. as impairment status, education and learning, language spoken in the house and others. Our group features contain. sex, age, race and Hispanic beginning. Economic features include topics such. as travelling to work employment condition, earnings and others. As well as our real estate attributes consist of subjects. such as computer system as well as Internet usage, housing costs, cars readily available as well as more. So as you may already be able to identify. a few of these subjects accumulated by the air conditioner can be made use of to gauge can be used for procedures. for the COVID-19 hub to find possible influences of areas that might be more impacted by the. virus. In just a minute I will look at some particular. subjects that were drawn into the hub itself. So now in enhancement to the numerous subjects covered. an also higher strength of the a/c is the vast geographical area of the survey gives.
data for.So the a/c covers greater than 805,000 geographical. areas when considering all three of its yearly information launches. So as you can see right here on the slide the air conditioner. covered locations overarching at the national level and is all the means granular to the block.
groups. As well as in-between there you can see that there. are likewise states as well as areas. So both states as well as regions are very important.
as these locations are really drawn into the COVID hub from the air conditioner. To obtain right into certain subjects in the COVID center. so from the 40 plus topics in the a/c we initially made use of inbound COVID associated information demands.
to assist identify subjects for the hub for the hub site itself. These include variables on possibly prone
. populations as well as variables offering a picture of the present social and economic landscape. These subjects were chosen with the suggestion to. supply information to help decision makers focus their reaction efforts. So on this slide are the topics from the a/c. that are actually in the data center. As you can see they cover numerous locations as well as.
are topics that are associated to COVID-19. Originally not every one of these topics were component. of the hub yet gradually we have actually remained to include topics that relate to the pandemic. and also the populace that are most affected.So if you ' re curious about more details. regarding the American Area Survey and also the data that it really uses and also offers. our ACS Internet web page is an excellent place to begin. So on the ACS Websites you can find our
why. we ask'pages which really provides more details on a questions that are asked and what data. is acquired from those questions.
You can also see a full list of our topics. in the a/c and a lot more. And likewise on the slide as you can see we do. have a link for the COVID 19 data hub undoubtedly right there on our ACS homepage. And please do keep in mind the ACS data as well as the. COVID hub helps to show areas of prospective
effects or locations that might be significantly impacted.
by the pandemic.But now I ' ll transform it back over to Andy and. he will certainly cover some programs that show actual impacts from the pandemic itself. Andy Hait: Great many thanks a lot Billy. So, as you can see the American Area.
Study generates an amazing riches of data in their programs.
We ' ve integrated a small section of the. data from the ACS in the panel. As well as Greg if you can proceed and also provide me the. round I will certainly go in advance and jump back over to the presentation. So incredible. Great, thanks so much Greg. So, as I was mentioning, we'create a lot. of data at the Demographics Bureau that can be utilized to recognize the prospective influences of the. pandemic in our neighborhoods. Our financial census, our Area Organization Patterns,. our Nonemployer Data programs offer information regarding organizations in our states. as well as areas as well as urban areas and cities. As well as those historic statistics can give us. a concept about the prospective impacts to those services so we
can forecast this is the. neighborhood that has a particular mix of specific sorts of businesses.This neighborhood
could be much more likely to be. impacted by the pandemic than various other neighborhoods. But in addition to those type of recommendation. data sources we likewise recognized at the beginning of the pandemic that we ' re mosting likely to have
to. develop some brand-new programs that not only determined the potential effect of the pandemic but the. actual effect as well.
As well as the extremely first of these programs that. we developed is a program called Service Formation Data. Currently, BFS is a program that we ' ve really. had at the bureau for quite time. As a number of you currently know, one of the methods. the Demographics Bureau preserves a total cosmos of every recognized company in the USA. is through interactions and connections that we have with other government agencies.Each as well as every week as well as month we receive. information from the Internal
Income Solution on people that have spoken to the internal revenue service requesting. a company notice number. Historically we have taken that details,. we ' ve used it to upgrade our business register, and also yearly we develop a tabulation of all. of those individuals that created new businesses throughout that schedule year. At the beginning of a pandemic, though, we.
understood that these company formations may provide us a real understanding brand-new businesses just how.
start-ups, if you will, have been impacted by the pandemic. So, we really took this
yearly program and also. we ' ve changed it right into a weekly program that demonstrates how start-ups were influenced throughout. the pandemic. As you can see on the slide, we consisted of some. visualization of information and also you can see at the actual start of the pandemic, we ' ve discovered. a marked decrease in the variety of business developments as companies who were thinking about. starting, decided to place their intend on hold and also wait'until the pandemic has type of cleared up. down a little.But if you looked at the a lot more recent information,.
you ' d see that a number of these companies have actually now
caught back up. In reality you can understand this even as of week. 36 or for or schedule
year 2020 (which this visualization on the right is. for) we saw a significant boost in the year to year percent modification in the number of company. development. These are services that would certainly have usually.
began in the direction of the beginning or center
of the pandemic but resisted as well as currently have actually chosen. to do it a little in the future.
So, this is an excellent program in regards to generating. data on new organization.
Now along with those brand-new organizations we. additionally recognized that we were going to have to do something special to determine how tiny. businesses were being influenced.
We knew that it was likely that local business. were mosting likely to be influenced in a different kind of means than bigger companies may be. So we stood up a survey called the Local business.
Pulse Study, or SBPS, that is made to measure on an once a week basis the effects of small. to tiny services of the pandemic.Like business development statistics, they. developed a dashboard on their web website that enabled individuals to enter and also actually check out. some tabulated stats. This information as you can see are shown at the. national as well as state degree. There ' s also some selected information available. by city. And these business statistics are tabulated
. by each field. So, on the right hand
side of the slide you. can see that specific sectors have actually been influenced really in a different way than others. The second to last bar on the right is for.
NAICS 72. That is the holiday accommodation and food solutions. market.
This is the field that we ' ve all become aware of. as being substantially impacted by the pandemic. You can see just how much a lot more these businesses.
had a big unfavorable impact a minimum of as of the date for these particular set of data. It ' s fascinating to note that NAICS 61 as well as. NAICS 72 are -and also 71 i’m sorry, are best behind NAICS 72. NAICS 71 is the arts, entertainment, and also entertainment. industry. This is'the sector that a few of
you might. have heard recently is mosting likely to be eligible to get some additional recuperation monies.
to assist these doing arts business and others type of get back on their feet. I additionally do personally find it fascinating to. note that NAICS 22, which is the utilities industry, and also NAICS 52,
which is the financing. as well as insurance policy field, have seen in a much lower impact.
I think we had to be happy that our neighborhood. utility companies did not see a marked decrease, did not see layoffs which that enabled. us to have utilities, electricity throughout this entire duration. Now the third program I intend to discuss. is our Home Pulse Study. Like the Local Business Pulse Survey, the.
Family Pulse Survey was made to measure the influence of the pandemic on family members, on. houses, on individuals
in the United States.Like the small company Pulse Survey, they. have produced a dashboard on their Web website. You ' re seeing a screenshot of it right here. One point I intend to make though regarding the. Household Pulse Survey and
their certain visualizations they ' ve produced you ' ll notification.
on the left-hand side of the visualization, there are seven classifications, 7 various.
questions that were asked on the Household Pulse
Study of concerning whether or not that.
household experienced any type of type of food scarcity or real estate instability or whether they had. problem paying for family expenses– points along those lines. The seven questions are simply a portion of. the'complete variety of concerns that were asked on the Home Pulse Study. There ' s a lot, far more information readily available and also. I would actually encourage you to all check out their data web page and also in fact go on.
and also take a look at that details. So, I ' ve included below on the slide some info. that web links to both the actual visualizations below in addition to their data page where you. can access that information.
Now the 4th program that I desire to chat. about is our Neighborhood Strength Estimates Program.This program was developed to measure the capacity. influences of the pandemic in terms of the resilience of communities to take care of the impacts or. impacts that are triggered by a pandemic. In creating this program, they recognized.
11 danger aspects that were particularly relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand that particular characteristics of areas. added to whether that neighborhood was impacted in a greater means or in a lower.
way. Neighborhoods, as an example, that have very high.
population density, the spread of the virus was a lot greater in those neighborhoods. So we used these 11 risk elements to the. American Neighborhood Survey information that Billy simply discussed and in the end created a. visualization that shows for every county in the United States whether that area is subject.
to no risk aspects( that you might sort of equate to being as highly resilient) versus. one to 2 risk aspects or 3 or even more danger factors.The data in this program are being released. each as well as every single- excuse me, for every and each and every single location area. As well as among things I intend to make, a point. I desire to make about the area durability estimates, is of these 4 programs I ' ve. simply spoken about, this is the one that is likely mosting likely to live past the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff that service this program are currently. considering they ' re currently investigating using different danger aspects to take a look at the durability.
of areas to various other types of disasters.So if you believe about a neighborhood and its. durability to something like a hurricane, the danger variables that you may
link. with the ability for that area to manage that cyclone could be rather'different. than the threat factors linked with that area handling an international pandemic like. COVID-19. So, we are in fact already working on that. As well as'one extremely vital point I wish to make. is our team are really thinking about hearing from you everything about the information that we.
are gathering. What are those danger elements that
you assume. we should certainly be considering when we ' re considering caring this program forward in
the future. Now, these four programs that I just talked. around are all included on the COVID-19 Data Hub. And in just a min we ' re in fact going. to jump out and also I ' m going to reveal you what that hub looks like.In enhancement to those four programs, though,. we also rather just recently stood two added information collections. As well as among them determines info on exactly how.
state and also city governments have been affected in terms of their sales taxation. The Family Pulse Survey as well as the Small Company. Pulse Study programs both aid us comprehend how houses and exactly how local business are. being influenced by the pandemic. Yet we likewise know that our state as well as regional.
governments are most likely being influenced. I recognize in the state of Maryland where
I live,. the state has seen a marked decrease in the sales taxes that they accumulate for gas. since such a large part of us in Maryland are not travelling every single day to function. I routinely made use of to fill out my tank greater than. when a week. I ' m currently going virtually two weeks between gas. fill ups.That ' s definitely mosting likely to be impacting my. state as they ' re not going to be gathering sales taxes. So, we created a special survey that really. accumulates info publishing information on monthly state sales tax obligation collections.
And I would really motivate you all to inspect. this out. The second as well as last program that I intend to.
discuss is the Month-to-month State Retail Sales report. A number of you are most likely normal customers of. our MRTS Survey the Monthly Retail Profession Survey.
This is one of our financial indicator programs. that offers incredibly timely information concerning just how the retail field has actually been affected by.
the pandemic.Looking at the MRTS data you can plainly see. that there ' s some retail related industries that have actually seen a
major decrease in their sales,. something like clothing shops, for instance, whereas other retail industries, like non-store.
stores (what we usually take online buying )has seen a boom in their market. These Regular Monthly Retail Trade Survey data are. indispensable to recognizing
the nationwide effect of the pandemic but the information in that study. is just shown at the national degree. We recognized that the influence on retail sales. was not going to be uniform throughout all states so we are
currently releasing state degree information.
on retail sales. And also you can actually see how retail market is. being influenced extra in some states than others.Now to give access to all of this data,. customers, of training course, can simply most likely to
the specific program web pages, and I have given the web links. to in fact accessibility that data. As well as we understand that there are some of you that.
are possibly currently doing that. I understand at the actual beginning of the presentation.
a person asked an inquiry around are these statistics that are readily available in the COVID-19
Data Hub. also available in the Demographics Bureau ' s information API. The brief response is of course however the longer answer
. is not all of them. Our data are readily available for download, and also some. are offered in the brand-new API. And also while some users like obviously this.
one certain user is somebody that knows with APIs and also fits drawing bulk. volumes of data, we knew that a great deal of users were not going to have that level of expertise.They were going
to need to have some details. set up to them for their functions. And also what- were mosting likely to intend to go see visualizations. of the data so they might in fact sort of compare one area to an additional.
They were going to intend to have a sort of. pre-format, if you will, of the data readily available to them for download. So, the result of those conversations is the
. COVID-19 Information Center. What you ' re seeing on your slide now.
are some screenshots from the COVID-19 Information Center.And I'' m now going to jump out of this PowerPoint presentation as well as really do a live demo of the center for you so you can see what other new things that were consisted of in Variation 2.0 of the center versus what are the functions that were there from before.So, to reach the COVID-19 Data Center, we go to Demographics Bureau'' s main page, http://www.census.gov. We placed our arrow over browse by topic and also we click on the Emergency Management Link. This is currently where the COVID-19 center is staying. When I click on Emergency Administration the web page is going to refresh. This is the page that we have actually been keeping all the info about the different storms and fires and also floods and also various other disasters during in 2014. You all recognize that we had a really energetic cyclone period, to the point that we actually had to dip right into the Greek alphabet. Yet this is really where our coronavirus page and also info is available.So, if you click the Coronavirus Pandemic symbol, after that go in advance and click
over right here, we ' re in fact mosting likely to lunch our Coronavirus Pandemic Resource page. On this resource page we have a couple of points. At the very top we have a web link to Variation 2.1 of the COVID-19 Data Hub. Just today
( or late last night) we deployed Version 2.1 that consists of some major updates to the
center, and also you can see those updates are really listed right here for you all to see.Below the web link to the COVID-19 Data Center are after that the links to those four programs that I talked around– Business Development Data, the Local Business Pulse Study, Neighborhood Durability Quotes as well as the Household Pulse Survey.
These links bring you over to the Program web page for that particular program where you can access the visualizations that I was simply showing you. You can also access the raw data for download, et cetera. Listed below there we have web links to the Census Company Contractor Regional Expert Version tool and afterwards below that we had some pre-defined deep web links into our data.census.gov platform for you to accessibility crucial information from the American Area Survey. I ' m going to go back up here to the top and also I ' m going to click on the COVID-19 Data Center so I can reveal you what are what is the info that we have in this hub and also what are the points that we simply recently added.So, at the extremely, extremely leading of the hub we have a web link to a paper that tells you what ' s new, what have we recently included and what ' s. coming quickly. We belong
for you to sign up to remain.
linked regarding this center to receive notices when we ' ve made updates to it'.
And this is that really crucial comments web link. that I pointed out.
Please, please, please as you utilize info. from this center as well as you discover points truly helpful or perhaps you locate some points that you want.
to talk about, I would certainly encourage you all to please and also to do that. Now listed below these web links we have a number of. crucial statistics regarding the populace aged 65 and older, the uninsured population and also the. number of services, both employer businesses
( nearly 8 million companies with paid employees). and also the 26 million or two freelance individuals, what we called Nonemployer Statistics. Below there is what we call the Effect Planning. Report.
As well as this is actually where we ' re seeing the. initial change in Variation 2.1 of the COVID-19 Information Hub.Many of you recognize that we have actually included details.
in this hub since the most recent vintage of the American Neighborhood Survey and our financial. programs.
So, in this upgrade we ' ve in fact upgraded.
the data to the most up to date American Area Survey information.
I ' m truly pleased to report that as well as we ' ve.
additionally updated our business information. So, these stats here that utilized to be. from the 2017 Region Service Patterns and also Nonemployer Data programs are currently offered.
for the 2018 programs. We ' ve likewise included some statistics in the 2017. Economic Census to the COVID-19 Data Hub.They were not in right here originally. Additionally, if you had clicked on this bar. chart prior to you would certainly ' ve seen a
chart that reveals information for picked 4 figure markets. that are likely being affected by the pandemic. We obtained a great deal'of comments from clients around. those sectors that we picked, would like to know why we had chosen those certain sectors. Did we believe those were the only ones that.
were being influenced? As well as what we realized is that while those were. very helpful, looking at data at a wider to digit NAICS industries was possibly a better. method of doing it. So you can see we ' ve now updated these visualizations. to show information at the two-digit NAICS market level. Every one of these data can be
downloaded and install and printed. and also you can in fact integrate this right into your own work.
Currently, this is a two web page record. This entire second web page consists of details.
once more from the American Community Survey, some truly good info that aids individuals. recognize the potential impacts of the pandemic.
I do intend to quickly make a reference that this. is where one of our modifications that we are intending on carrying out in the future is most likely to happen.We know that as we are relocating into vaccine. distribution, that several of the stats that we have in this system that were valuable.
to understand the spread of the pandemic, the spread of the virus across the United. States, we understand that some added data may be useful to assist recognize the circulation. of vaccination throughout the nation.
For instance, we understand currently from looking. at the Group 1A as well as 1B and also 1C and also Group 2 and Team 3 categories that profession is. likely going to play a duty in sending vaccine to Americans. So, we are taking into consideration adding some additional.
data to the influence report that would aid users recognize those occupations.Now, you ' ll notification that these data are.
available at the state degree. The application instantly defaults to.
New York City State however the candidates can proceed and also transform the location to whatever state. they want.
And also after that ultimately you can additionally go in and also look. at these stats by region.
So rather than considering the information just for. Colorado, if I wish to particularly look at data for Boulder County I can go on and. click on Rock Area as well as now we ' re in fact seeing the group and service data for. Boulder County, Colorado.
Listed Below the Effect Planning Report we'have web links. to those four studies that I was talking around.
For three of the 4 web links we have in fact. constructed a 2nd dashboard that supplements the dashboard that is available on the BFS,. Local Business Pulse and also the Community Durability Quotes web pages. For the Home Pulse Study, the web link below. brings you bent on the Family Pulse Survey page where you can enter and also really browse. the data there.We sanctuary ' t in fact produced a different control panel. for the Home Pulse Study. And in Version 2.1 you can see we ' ve now included
. floor tiles that particularly bring you over to those state sales tax collections and those. month-to-month state degree retail sales records once again.
This system is created to be a central. database for all lot of the information that we have at the census bureau to help. individuals understand the possible impacts of the pandemic. Below these tiles we after that have these plan. maps. The policy maps enable individuals to browse chosen. stats that are revealed in that control panel at the really top at a more detailed level of. location. So, for example, you can see this map number
. one is considering data on company services from county organization patterns. If I cycle with this checklist we will certainly then. come to info regarding the Accommodation and Food Solutions market. This is checking out the sales per facility. as the shade and the dimension of the circle is the variety of businesses.If I wanted to understand how is the distribution. of food solution companies in Texas, I can proceed as well as zoom in on the map. And also as I zoom this map in the map is going.
to revitalize as well as we ' re going to begin to see county degree data. And we can do that more using several of the. various other maps. So this is a great
source to kind of'picture. the services and demographics of the locations that are likely being impacted by the pandemic. The really last of these nine maps below is a. Social Vulnerability Index. This is in fact data that we have actually obtained. from the Facility for Illness Control, the CDC, that reveals exactly how counties are prone to. specific concerns. Now these maps can naturally be shared. We ' ve included the share feature right below. As well as since this Website was produced for.
us by Esri, every one of the info that we ' ve seen so much is readily available for you GIS experts. to be able to include into your very own platforms.Below there we have integrated web links to. some of our crucial data collections. We understood that a great deal of users of the COVID-19. Data Center were mosting likely to want watching this information online
and we also knew that there.
was mosting likely to be a great deal of people that would of wished to be able to download the information. as well as incorporate it right into their own projects, right into their own research study, into their own Internet.
sites.So we had actually given access to a few of those. information from this Highlighted Data Establishes page.
And after that way down right here at the base of the. web page this kind of a local data set search allows you to enter as well as accessibility all of the. information that we ' ve integrated on the web page. I can enter into business Qualities.
tab and I could in fact go in and also download each of the various data establishes that we ' ve.
incorporated into this hub. You can see here is our non-employer statistics. data, state degree data as well as region level information from the 2018 Nonemployer Stats, the. NES program, the area organization patterns, and so on. Now you ' ll notification that the downloads are offered.
to you in both Excel data style and also as an attribute layer. Once more, dealing with Esri, they
' ve been really. wonderful to work with due to the fact that they ' ve made the data offered right into a function layer service. so GIS professionals who are utilized to making use of the ArcGIS applications and ArcGIS online.
can actually include this information'into their projects.Now the tail end of the hub I intend to chat.
around is the component that was truly upgraded the most throughout Version 2.0 of the hub.
As we ' ve been talking with federal companies.
concerning the job that we ' ve done on this center,
we had conversations with representatives. from FEMA. So they were pretty delighted with what we'had. performed in this COVID-19 Information Center as well as they asked us if we'would want potentially. organizing web links to some of the data collections that they have actually been assembling and also offering. as component of their work. Functioning with the Argonne National Labs, they. assembled a collection of information sets that were available for access and for download, however those information. collections were just obtainable to a limited audience, individuals that had access to the Argonne website who.
had a username and password to obtain in and do that, which was primarily government agencies.What they truly wanted was for these truly. useful information collections to be subjected to a much bigger target market. And also as you can see we thought that this
was. an excellent suggestion. We actually thought that supplying access to. these data collections to a larger target market actually not just commemorated the
worth of those information. sets themselves yet additionally commemorated the worth of mashing up Census Bureau data with other.
data. As well as you ' ll notification from the Logos right here that.
these information sets are not only from various other government statistical agencies like SBA, USDA as well as BLS.
however they ' re additionally from private-sector firms Vision Lab, Womply, Google even the American. Partnership of Museums to comprehend just how museums possibly are being impacted. So, to reach this data, we click the Open. Data Sets web page.
And this'will currently bring us to a site where. we can enter and accessibility those 38 information establishes that we have actually provided links to from the COVID-19. Information Center. Those data sets are arranged into three broad. groups. Every one of the information collections connected to business and also. economics are available by clicking this tab. Every one of the information collections that relate to people. and also houses (sort of the market data )are offered under this tab, and also ultimately. all the information sets that relate to government solutions are readily available here.Below those 3 tabs we have given a. select link to eight of the data sets under that wide group. So you can see for instance under this group. organization and business economics we have the pay-roll- Paycheck Defense Program or PPP lending. data from the SBA that included a vital resource that ' s readily available along with things like regular. company closures from a personal market company called Womply. As you can see on the slide we give you details.
regarding the degree of geographic data that is offered there as well as we ' ve discovered data links. permit you to leap out and go directly to that'program companies information establish page where you.
can then access that data.Now I will certainly tell you that this is a large very first. step I believe in the direction of making this data easily accessible to a target market. The experience you will certainly have when you most likely to. each of these explore data web links will certainly be various, however once again
, you are undergoing the SBA Internet. site or the BLS Website or the BEA Internet site or the Opportunity Insights Internet site to gain access to.
these information. But we are already in assessment as well as discussions. with FEMA and others to see if there ' s various other things that we can do to actually supply. extra detailed access to these data collections. Now if we click on among these tabs here. we get the full list
of all the information collections under that specific topic. So we can see under this Service as well as Economics.
topic there in fact 15 information sets– info from BEA, BLS, SBA, et
cetera.So you can see there ' s a great deal of information that. we have actually incorporated right into this center from the Bureau of Labor Data. I would actually encourage you all to inspect. these out. I have already talked with a number of
data. individuals that are already believing concerning mash ups they want to currently do due to the fact that we ' ve made. this information accessible to such a bigger target market. So I ' m truly happy with the truth that we made.
the data obtainable due to the fact that it truly commemorates the value that all of us can give understanding. the possible influences of the pandemic.
So, that brings me throughout of my almost all.
of my demo.I ' m mosting likely to go on and switch back over. to my PowerPoint slide'to allow
us to type of close this out. So, we went through the different studies. and also the different aspects of the site. We spoke about the highlighted information collections. and just how you can access those data in their raw form. Allow ' s currently close this out by talking around. what ' s being available in the future.
Currently as most of you understand we are constantly.
updating these monthly COVID associated programs, those 4 programs that I was talking around. We will certainly remain to use updates to these. to the hub to show the current data.
So, for example, some of you may have seen. the'news the other day that the Small Business Pulse Study, which lately finished. Stage 3 of the Small Company Pulse Study, is most likely mosting likely to be moving into the future. into a Phase 4. As much of you understand who have accessed that. Small Company Pulse Study information the questions that were asked on each of the three existing. stages, the initial 3 stages of the Local business Pulse Survey progressed over time.We began asking questions at the actual beginning.
however then didn ' t make sense to maintain asking in Stage 2. A few of those questions were gotten rid of and also we.
began adding brand-new questions that made even more sense as the pandemic was
developing as was. -as it was altering. That will certainly proceed to happen as we move on. so individuals can make sure that were getting data bent on you that can aid you understand just how. businesses are not only reacting to however ideally recuperating from the pandemic.
On top of that, we'give this upgrade to the. County Company Patterns, Nonemployer Stats, and also Economic Demographics data. These were just included Variation 2.1. This was a what ' s coming slide.What ' s coming has actually taken place so I ' m. actually satisfied regarding
that. And also again, we gave those extra links. to those various other Census Bureau programs that provide associated information. The state tax sales tax collection and the. information on monthly state retail sales.
We are additionally in the procedure of adding a new. dashboard from our Worldwide Database program. We ' ve understood that in talking with individuals that.
supplying some details not just aided the USA but also consisting of some. of the data that we have readily available from our IDB might be truly useful so we ' ve in fact. remained in the procedure of doing that. That will likely be included Variation 2.2 of.
the center. And ultimately we are mosting likely to be updating the. American Community Study data to not just reveal the most recent vintage which we ' ve currently. done yet also possibly include some added information variables that are not consisted of right. currently in the COVID-19 Data Hub however that may be really helpful to individuals as we move forward. into the recovery from the pandemic.I already mentioned'as well as teased you
all little. about the reality that we are taking into consideration some market as well as line of work kind information however. I just wished to aim out that that
' s a job in progress. We ' re still dealing with that. So, to summarize our presentation today, I. desire
to thank you all for attending. The Demographics Bureau has a fantastic wide range of. information that can supply details on not only the prospective impacts but also the actual. influences of the pandemic.
Programs like the Organization Development Data,. Local Business Pulse Study, Home Pulse Study, month-to-month state sales tax collections. and monthly state retail sales reports all provide us info about how companies and also. houses are really being influenced by the pandemic. We ' ve in fact created a number of America. Matters stories that feature some details from these programs that highlight points.
like folks that are more youthful as well as are living alone are being affected in a really various.
means than people that are living with someone else, possibly with their household.
So those sort of statistics are truly outstanding. and insightful. I would certainly urge you all to have a look at our. America Counts web website to see more regarding these various other tales that we ' ve written.To comprehend the prospective impacts of the. pandemic our economic programs and also our service, our demographic programs like the American.
Area Study, area company patterns, Non-employer Stats and also the Economic Census.
can give some actually beneficial information on exactly how homes and businesses are being.
impacted or possibly being impacted. And also again I wish to produce a big plug to. our folks in the Community Strength Estimates Program; certainly this is a great program.
that I ' m sure will live well past the pandemic to recognize how resistant neighborhoods are. to not only the pandemic yet also various other kind of disasters.In completion, we developed this hub to provide. information from these selected programs in interesting user-friendly dashboards as well as maps where you can. surf the data and in downloadable sources. We actually desire you all
to be using this. details. As well as finally, as my last factor below once again as well as.
time and again I said we want your feedback. We wish to comprehend exactly how useful this center. is to you all, points that we have on here. And also if there are extra things that we.
could do that would certainly make these information more useful to you as well as to other decision-makers in your.
industry, in your neighborhoods we want to hear that.
This has been an active job has evolved.
a great deal over just 9 or ten months or two that the hub has actually been going.So, with that I want to thank
to you. all and allow ' s see about proceeding and taking some questions.
Organizer: And as a pointer … Greg P: Hi There Andy
, this is Greg, did you want. to take some over the phone or some chat
inquiries first? What ' s your preference? Andy Hait: Yes, driver if you intend to see.
if folks have inquiries that they intend to ask over the phone if you intend to claim something. regarding them going into
their inquiries using the phone. As well as while we ' re waiting for them to do that. we can take a number of conversation inquiries. That would certainly be wonderful Greg. Planner: Sure. If you like to ask a
inquiry at this time. You might push Celebrity 1 as well as clearly record your. name for question intro. Once again to ask questions over the phone lines. press Star 1 and also clearly tape your name for
question introduction.Just a few minutes to see if we have questions. over the phone lines. Thanks. Greg P: Great thanks driver.
As well as Andy so we ' ve got- we ' ve had a busy chat. line below. Let ' s see here one inquiry was available in and the. attendee wrote, “I ' ve had neighborhood companions ask why the Demographics Bureau isn ' t asking questions. regarding masks …– allow ' s see below …– concerning mask wear in the Home Pulse as well as Small. Business Studies. Ideas on including that in the
future?” Andy Hait: Yes, wonderful question. So obviously the question is that we are asking. all of these programs are ones that we feel we can collect beneficial data for and likewise. are questions where various other data providers are not already asking that very same concern. As valuable as the information is that the Demographics. Bureau is collecting'and releasing about
the impacts of the pandemic, we are certainly. not the only United States federal statistical agency or even state company that is collecting details. on the impacts of the pandemic.
And also yes, there are various other'companies that are. accumulating info on things like mask using as well as
points like that. I recognize we ' ve all listened to the records” regarding the. influences and how mask using influences the spread of the virus.Those are data that are really being collected. to assist gauge the impact of mask enduring others.
So I would encourage you all to check that. out. The 38 data establishes that we had actually added web links to. in the COVID-19 Information Hub would certainly represent a rather significant share of the complete quantity.
of information yet that list is not the complete checklist. Even in the brief time because that checklist has.
been published I ' ve had a variety of individuals that have contacted me as well as stated, “Andy I put on
' t. see the complying with information embed in your list.How do we add a lot more information to this hub?”” That'' s. part of that comments that I so assume is so vital. So I would certainly urge you all if there are.
various other information establishes that you have actually identified that you think would be valuable for us to include.
here whether it'' s from your association or your organization or from your- an additional information. supplier that you ' ve recognized please allow us know, so terrific question.Greg P: Operator did
any inquiries can be found in. over the phone? Coordinator: Yes. I ' m showing we have one concern; your line. is now open. (Caller 1): Yes.
Andy Hait: Hello There?( Customer 1): Can you hear me? Andy Hait: Yes I can.( Caller 1): Okay a number of things. I am a farmer, a tree farmer as well as when you.
asked the seven inquiries about the family home impact with the household survey.
are farmers being identified regarding that because a few of this PPP and the Economic Disaster.
Lendings, the EDL is not obtaining down to us so we are being affected.Andy Hait: Right. So
, I ' m sorry to hear that'you ' re not seeing. several of that.
What I would motivate you to do is check.
out the Home Pulse Study Website to find out about exactly how we in fact drew the example.
that we utilized to in fact send out to those families to be surveyed. The Demographics Bureau is actually respectable regarding.
exactly how we conduct our sample studies. I have spent 33 years functioning in our financial.
directorate the Demographics Bureau and I'' ve always been surprised concerning the sizes that we most likely to.
ensure that we have a good rep sample of companies in our month-to-month and also quarterly.
and yearly and routine service surveys. I'' m sure the exact very same thing has also applied. to the Family Pulse Survey so I put on'' t assume they specifically excluded certain teams. Whether they over sampled a particular area.
or otherwise is a good question. I would actually motivate you to have a look at.
that Home Pulse Study Internet site to see just how were the houses selected, what was.
the sample dimension of the House Pulse Survey since they provides you some indicator of.
the number of households were likely picked for the examples, et cetera.So yes I would certainly urge you to check that. out. Now of training course when it comes to distribution. of cash through these numerous different programs that have been developed by government companies. like PPP as well as CARES Act, et cetera those monies
are being dispersed to those various areas. in a selection of different methods.
And also among the important things I ' ll claim is if you look. at some of those additional information establishes that we ' ve currently included to the hub you can see quite. rapidly how points like PPP loans were distributed to
companies slightly different than the. CARES Act money was distributed.In several means the money was distributed to.
either private cities or to counties or
even to the state overall or how that money. then received from the city or the areas or the state all at once to the private households. as well as services in their communities was somewhat left approximately the neighborhood jurisdiction to really. make that decision.So, there ' s a selection of different methods. The information is really pretty amazing to comprehend.
how we been reacting to the pandemic and possibly exactly how we should be reacting in the.
future. So with any luck I addressed your inquiry.( Caller 1): Due to the fact that it ' s influencing also our. injection circulation. Being country there ' s very few health centers as well as.'physicians websites.
So as you ' re doing the 1A'as well as the 1B distribution.
of the 2 different vaccinations line of work, age and location is impacting us. Andy Hait: Yes, absolutely. I know that is the injection is being rolled. out the different teams, the group groups that are being included in each of. the distribution varies widely from state to state.I know in Maryland where I live instructors were. consisted of in among our initial, our first teams 1A as well as 1B
whereas in various other states teachers.
weren ' t going to be getting their injections till perhaps later on. So, it ' s been a fascinating thing. I assume in many methods we are figuring this. out as we go along and each state has actually been enabled to type of do their very own point. We ' ll see exactly how that progresses into 2021. so excellent inquiry. Thanks so a lot for calling.( Caller 1 ): Thank you Andy. Andy Hait: You ' re welcome. Driver any type of other
calls questions on the. phone? Planner: I ' m presently revealing no additional. questions at this time. Andy Hait: Okay Greg any other conversation questions.
we can speak about? Greg P': Well allow ' s see, we ' ve got a number. of folks thanks for an interesting Webinar.
A couple concerns on social susceptability. One states, what are the top line distinctions. in between area resilience estimates and also social susceptability? Andy Hait: Yes, that ' s a terrific question. So, to recognize just how the Facility for Disease. Control figured out as well as determined that Social Vulnerability Index I would actually motivate. you to check out their Internet site.The links to that web page is among
the web links. that ' s included because listing of 38 data established links. I don ' t also desire to attempt to do it any kind of injustice. I recognize that I won ' t do how they determine. that index in any sort of way. For the Community Strength Quotes Program. though we established what were those 11 risk elements that were the ones that were ideal. As well as we then used those risk elements to.
the mini degree data from the American Neighborhood Survey. So basically we took those threat factors, we. took a look at the people responses from the American Neighborhood Study we used those. threat elements to that and after that we after that re-tabulated the American Community Study data to show. to recognize those locations, those sorts of systems for instance that met one of the. threat aspects or 2 of the risk elements or three or more of the risk elements or for that. matter none of the threat aspects. So, we had a little a lot more
claim over what. we determined. As well as a great deal of those risk aspects were established. by assessments we
had from other specialists, various other organizations that claimed yes you need.
to see to it that you include age as one of the crucial risk variables or possibly you require to. consist of details on population density as one of those crucial 11 risk factors.So once more I ' d motivate you to take a look at the. paperwork for the area durability estimates, understand what the level of aspects. were and once more just how we applied them to the data as well as moving on
just how we could'transform. those risk elements moving ahead to be ones that are a lot more ideal for fires and floods. and storms and twisters as well as other type of disasters that we experience in the United States. Greg P: Okay.
One more inquiry is, Is a possible to get. house pulse data not in the interactive device as a time collection or would certainly an individual have. to go right into each week ' s table individually and pull the information manually?” Andy Hait: Yes, that ' s a great question. So, the Household Pulse Survey Website gives.
accessibility to downloadable data that can be pulled down so you can do this job yourself.And several of those data collections are individual. duration period data sets. Nevertheless, we simply started releasing some of.
the data from these studies in our API. To make sure that ' s an excellent use situation for someone that
. may intend to draw information for several period perhaps weekly that the House. Pulse Survey was done on a certain subject that was asked in the House Pulse Study. for that period. The API would be a best means to enter and. actually access that more comprehensive data or that information across several amount of time. So of course that ' s a wonderful use instance for the API. Greg P: Okay a number of concerns was available in. on metropolitan and also country information.
Exactly how do we obtain the urban as well as country information from. the Pulse House Study data? Yes, so I am not aware to be rather straightforward. whether they published particularly the city rural breakout in the House Pulse Study. data.I understand they know at the national. state, region and also city degrees but I ' m not sure if they in fact applied. that metropolitan rural breakout on there. Obviously, we do have various other geographic resources. at the Census Bureau that would certainly permit you to associate a specific county whether with.- whether or not that area was primarily urban or largely rural. So you can sort of to that organization on your own. however I wear ' t assume we in fact released the information for the Home Pulse Survey in the. metropolitan rural breakout. What I would certainly encourage you to do is please. send me an email. My e-mail address is right here on the slide right. currently'. Send me an email and I will see to it I obtain. with our Household Pulse Study people so
that they can address that inquiry far better than. I can.Greg P: Let ' s see.
I believe we covered a lot of them right here. If I ' m missing people ' s question I ask forgiveness.
Andy ' s information gets on the screen there. But Andy that -that ' s the majority of the conversation inquiries. Andy Hait: Okay. Billy did you wish to act on anything. might'be that I covered'during the discussion that you'wish to offer some added comments. on? Billy Gamble: I assume I ' m okay for currently. There are a few chat concerns that can be found in. that I responded to so my
details is on our branch info is on the our branch details. is on the screen to make sure that users can really feel participants can do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.Andy Hait: Great. Okay well once more thank you all
a lot. If there is nothing else inquiries, driver any kind of. much more concerns for the phone? Coordinator: There
are no inquiries online. at this time. Andy Hait: Great. Well again thanks all so much for taking.
break of your hectic timetables. With any luck I have actually teased you sufficient to make. you want to head out and also take a look at this resource that we have developed for you to be able to. gain access to information regarding the influences of the pandemic. Thanks all a lot for taking time out. of your active timetables as well as have a wonderful mid-day.
Organizer: This will conclude today ' s conference. All individuals may currently disconnect.
Thanks for your participation on today ' s. call.
