Andrew Hait: Welcome everyone to this afternoon'' s. webinar on the COVID-19 Data Center. My name once again is Andrew Hait. I'' m a Financial expert at the US Demographics Bureau at.
our headquarters workplace in Maryland. And also today we are mosting likely to be doing a pair.
of points. Initially, we'' re mosting likely to be providing an overview.
of several of the key programs that we have that are readily available in the COVID-19 Information Center. My associate Billy Gamble is going to speak.
concerning the group data from the American Community Survey that remains in the COVID-19 center. He'' ll talk a little bit about the stats. that we especially selected and also possibly why those stats were selected to be consisted of.
in the COVID-19 Data Center the details that they can offer that can be valuable to individuals.
who are trying to comprehend the prospective impact of the pandemic on our neighborhood neighborhoods.
and it'' s residents.Then, I'' m going to be taking over and also speaking.
concerning business statistics, the opposite side of the Census Bureau, the economic info.
on the company services and other independent individuals that are consisted of in the COVID-19 Data.
Hub. Because section of the discussion I'' ll also. discuss a number of the programs that we stood up at the Demographics Bureau especially.
developed to accumulate info regarding the real impacts of the pandemic on our homes.
and also on individuals. Then I'' m going to go in advance as well as actually do.
a real-time demonstration of the most recent version of the Center. Currently I know when you all registered to attend.
this Webinar you joined to discover concerning the new Variation 2.0 of the center. It'' s intriguing to note that actually last. evening (around 10:00 pm) we launched Version 2.1.
So today we'' re going to be chatting a little. bit concerning what ' s coming. Some of what I originally stated was going to.
be upcoming we'' ve actually currently launched. And I believe that is type of a sign of.
exactly how not only fluid this hub has been yet how agile the project has actually been. As the pandemic has developed so have the statistics.
that we consist of in the COVID-19 Information Hub. Version 2.0 was a substantial upgrade to the.
Hub as well as we'' ll yap concerning what'we ' ve included because upgrade and also what you can in fact.
use from that upgrade; just how you can utilize that data.But I ' ll additionally chat a little bit regarding what we simply.
updated in Version 2.1. Ultimately, we will offer you a preview of some.
of the other points that are coming in Version 2.2 as well as in potential future updates of the.
hub. A bottom line that I wish to make after that (and.
I'' ll make it now )is that you all have a role in forming what kind of details.
is consisted of in this hub. The feedback that we have actually obtained from our.
users in this particular program on this particular project has actually been vital. It has actually significantly advised us on what information.
that we want to include.And that comments
has not only originate from personal. industry information users but also
from the federal government also. So you ' ll actually see that in the demo of. the hub. Lastly, we ' ll be taking some questions at. the end.'For those of you that connected through the audio. program we will be entering your concerns using
the chat attribute and also we will certainly be addressing. those inquiries at the end. For those of you that do who did
actually call. know your phone we ' ll be able to take those questions at the end through the telephone.So,'to get us started, I simply intend to talk. extremely quickly regarding what is the
US Demographics Bureau. You all would certainly need to be living under a rock. to understand that we have not that we did not just complete collection of information from the decennial. census. Every 10 years we do a full matter of. the United States population. As well as to a great deal of Americans that is the main. point that we do. If I had a dollar for every time somebody said. to me, “I understand what you all do it when every 10 years, “what do you do the other nine, “I. would certainly be retired now.
In truth we perform greater than 130 monthly,. quarterly and also annual and routine
programs every single solitary year. These include demographic or household-based. surveys like the decennial demographics however they also consist of a program called the American. Neighborhood Survey that Billy ' s going
to be talking about in just a moment.This is a'amazing source that offers.
extraordinary detailed group, socioeconomic
and housing data that you all can use not. only to recognize the possible impacts of the pandemic yet
that you likewise can make use of in. community financial development. Small company proprietors make use of these information all the. time to research their markets as well as identify is now a good time and also a great place to open up. a specific organization I ' m taking into consideration? So, this is a fantastic resource.It is an essential information product that I send out a whole lot. of individuals to and with any luck you all are
vital users of it also.
In addition to the American Neighborhood Study,. however, we also perform 58 business surveys. Every five years we do a full financial. census that determines every employer service in the United States, but we likewise do a census. of governments and a variety of other programs.
With that I ' d like to turn it over to Billy. that will certainly now speak with us about the American Area Study. Billy it ' s all yours. Billy Wager: All right simply waiting on the. speaker ball right here. Okay well great afternoon everybody and. thanks Andy. My name is Billy Gamble as Andy specified. I operate in the outreach and also education and learning branch. below at the American Area Survey workplace
. And I wish to supply you a little bit of info. regarding the American Community Survey which is generally described as the a/c as well as what. it gives to the COVID hub.But before that allowed ' s do some quick
history. info on the air conditioner. So the air conditioner is the nation ' s most present reputable.
and also obtainable data resource for data on'critical subjects.
As well as every year 3.5 million homes are. evaluated and also the air conditioner assists to designate even more than$ 675 billion of federal spending each. year. There more than 40 topics covered in the study. and also these subjects sustain over 300 federal
government utilizes. Currently ACS information is launched each year via
. 3 vital information releases. As well as this contains our one year price quotes,. our one year supplementary estimates and our five
year estimates which is the data used. in the COVID hub.So on the previous slide I did point out there. are 40 subjects covered in the air conditioner. The subjects gathered can be organized right into four.
major characteristics containing social, demographic, economic and housing features. Social qualities consist of topics such
. as impairment condition, education, language talked at residence and also others. Our market features contain.
sex, age, race and also Hispanic beginning. Economic characteristics consist of topics such. as commuting to function employment status, earnings and also others. And our real estate attributes include subjects.
such as computer and also Web usage, real estate expenses, vehicles offered and also more.So as you might already have the ability to determine. a few of these subjects gathered by the ACS can be used to measure can be utilized for actions.
for the COVID-19 hub to find prospective impacts of locations that may be extra influenced by the. infection. In just a moment I will certainly review some details. topics that were drawn into the hub itself. So now along with the different topics covered.
an even higher stamina of the air conditioner is the huge geographic area of the survey provides. data for. So the ACS covers greater than 805,000 geographic.
locations when taking into consideration all 3 of its annual information releases. So as you can see here on the
slide the a/c. covered locations overarching at the nationwide level as well as is completely granular to the block. groups. As well as in-between there you can see that there. are also states as well as areas. So both states as well as counties are necessary. as these geographies are actually drawn right into the COVID hub from the ACS.To obtain
right into specific topics in the COVID center. so from the 40 plus topics in the a/c we at first used incoming COVID relevant data demands. to assist identify subjects for the hub for the center site itself. These include variables on potentially susceptible. populaces and also variables offering a picture of the present social and financial landscape. These subjects were selected with the concept to. offer information to assist choice manufacturers concentrate their action efforts. So on this slide are the subjects from the air conditioning. that are really in the information center. As you can see they cover numerous areas and.
are subjects that relate to COVID-19. Originally not every one of these subjects were part. of the hub however with time we have continued to include subjects that pertain to the pandemic. and also the populace that are most affected.So if you ' re thinking about even more details. regarding the American Area Survey and also the information that it in fact offers and also supplies. our ACS Internet page is a great location to start. So on the ACS Website you can locate our
why. we ask'pages which in fact gives even more info on a questions that are asked and also what information. is gotten from those inquiries.
You can also see a complete listing of our subjects. in the air conditioner and a lot more. As well as also on the slide as you can see we do. have a web link for the COVID 19 information center undoubtedly right there on our ACS homepage. And also please do bear in mind the ACS information and also the. COVID hub assists to reveal areas of prospective
effects or locations that can be substantially impacted.
by the pandemic.But now I ' ll transform it back over to Andy and also. he will cover some programs that reveal actual impacts from the pandemic itself. Andy Hait: Great many thanks a lot Billy. So, as you can see the American Area.
Survey generates a fantastic wide range of stats in their programs.
We ' ve incorporated a tiny portion of the. data from the air conditioning in the panel. And Greg if you can go on and also offer me the. round I will certainly proceed and also jump back over to the discussion. So awesome. Great, thank you so much Greg.So, as I was mentioning, we produce a'lot. of data at the Census Bureau that can be utilized to understand the potential influences of the. pandemic in our areas.
Our financial census, our County Business Patterns,. our Nonemployer Statistics programs give details about organizations in our states.
and regions as well as city areas as well as cities. And also those historic stats can give us.
a concept about the potential effects to those businesses so we can anticipate this is the.
neighborhood that has a particular mix of certain kinds of companies. This community could be more likely to be. impacted by the pandemic than other areas. But along with those kind of referral.
databases we additionally recognized at the start of the pandemic that we ' re mosting likely to need to.
develop some brand-new programs that not just gauged the potential influence of the pandemic but the. real influence too.And the extremely first of these programs that. we developed is a program called Company Formation Data. Currently, BFS is a program that we ' ve actually. had at the bureau for fairly a long time. As many of you already understand, one of the means. the Demographics Bureau preserves a total world of every well-known service in the United States
. is via interactions and partnerships that we have with other government agencies. Each and also every solitary week and month we obtain. info from the Irs on individuals who have actually contacted the IRS asking for. a company notice number.Historically we have actually taken that info,. we ' ve used it to update our business register, and also yearly we create an inventory of all. of those people that created new companies during that fiscal year. At the start of a pandemic, though, we.
realized that these business formations may give us a genuine insight brand-new services how.
startups, if you will, have been affected by the pandemic.So, we really took this yearly program
and also. we ' ve transformed it right into an once a week program that demonstrates how startups were influenced throughout.
the pandemic. As you can see on the slide, we consisted of some. visualization of information as well as you can see at the very start of the pandemic, we ' ve discovered. a significant decrease in the variety of service developments as business that were thinking about. beginning, determined to place
their intend on hold as well as wait until the pandemic has type of'worked out. down a little.But if you considered the a lot more current information,. you ' d see that many
of these companies have actually currently caught back up. As a matter of fact you can recognize this
even as of week. 36 or for or schedule year 2020( which this visualization on the right
is. for) we saw a marked increase in the year to year percent modification in the number of organization
. formation. These are businesses that would have generally. started towards the start or middle of the pandemic however held off as well as
currently have chosen. to do it a little bit later on. So, this is a wonderful program in terms of producing. statistics on brand-new company.
Now along with those new organizations we. also recognized that we were mosting likely to need to do something special to measure exactly how small. services were being affected. We understood that it was likely that little organizations. were mosting likely to be impacted in a different type of method than larger firms could be.So we stood a survey called the Small company.
Pulse Study, or SBPS, that is developed to determine on a regular basis the effects of tiny. to small companies of the pandemic. Like the organization formation statistics, they. created a dashboard on their internet site that enabled individuals to enter and actually check out. some tabulated stats. This information as you can see are shown at the. national and state degree. There ' s likewise some selected details available.
by metropolitan area. As well as these service data are
arranged. by each market. So, on the right hand side of the slide you. can see that certain fields have actually been impacted very in a different way than others. The second to last bar on the right is for. NAICS 72. That is the holiday accommodation and also food solutions. industry. This is the market that we ' ve all become aware of. as being considerably affected by the pandemic. You can see just how much more these organizations. had a big adverse impact a minimum of as of the date for these particular set of data.It ' s intriguing to note that NAICS 61 and. NAICS 72 are- and also 71 i’m sorry, are right behind NAICS 72. NAICS 71 is the arts, enjoyment, and leisure. field. This is the industry that a few of you might. have heard recently is mosting likely to be eligible to receive some additional recovery cash.
to assist these carrying out arts firms and others type of return on their feet.
I likewise do directly discover it fascinating to. note that NAICS 22, which is the energies market, and also NAICS 52,'which is the financing. and insurance policy market, have seen in a much lower impact.I hunch we needed to be thankful that our regional. energy companies did not see a marked decline,
did not see discharges which that permitted.
us to have energies, electricity throughout this whole period. Currently the third program I intend to speak about. is our Household Pulse Survey. Like the Local Business Pulse Survey, the. Home Pulse Study was designed to gauge the effect of the pandemic on families, on. homes, on individuals in the United States. Like the small company Pulse Survey,
they. have created a dashboard on their Internet site.You ' re seeing a screenshot of it right here. One point I desire to make though about the.
Family Pulse Study and also their specific visualizations they ' ve developed you ' ll notice.
on the left-hand side of the visualization, there are 7 groups, 7 different. questions that were asked on the House Pulse Study of about whether or not that. home experienced any type of type of food shortage or housing insecurity or whether
they had. trouble spending for home costs– points'along those lines. The 7 inquiries are just a portion of. the complete variety of concerns that were asked on the Family Pulse Survey.There ' s much, much more information available and also. I would actually motivate you to all look into their information web page as well as in fact go on. as well as have a look at that info. So, I ' ve consisted of right here on the slide some information. that links to both the actual visualizations here as well as their information page where you.
can access that data. Currently the 4th program that I intend to chat. around is our Area Strength Estimates Program. This program was designed to measure the capacity.
influences of the pandemic in terms of the strength of communities to deal with the impacts or. results that are brought on by a pandemic. In establishing this program, they recognized. 11 danger factors that were particularly pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that certain features of areas. added to whether or not that community was affected in a greater method or in a minimal.
way. Communities, for instance, that have extremely high. population thickness, the spread of the infection was a lot higher in those neighborhoods. So we applied these 11 risk factors to the.
American Neighborhood Survey information that Billy simply chatted regarding and in the end developed a. visualization that shows for each county in the United States whether that county is subject.
to no threat factors( that you can type of equate to being as highly resilient) versus. one to two risk variables or three or more danger factors.The data in this program are being released. every solitary- excuse me, for each and also each and every single location region. And one of the important things I wish to make, a factor. I intend to make concerning the neighborhood resilience quotes, is of these four programs I ' ve. just discussed, this is the one that is likely mosting likely to live past the COVID-19 pandemic. Our personnel that function on this program are currently. considering they ' re currently looking into applying various danger variables to consider the durability.
of areas to other sorts of disasters.So if you think of a neighborhood and also its. durability to something like a hurricane, the risk elements that you may
connect. with the ability for that area to manage that cyclone might be rather'various. than the threat variables related to that neighborhood taking care of a global pandemic like. COVID-19. So, we are really already working with that. And'one extremely vital point I intend to make. is our team are very interested in listening to from you all regarding the info that we.
are collecting.What are those threat aspects that you assume.
we should certainly be considering when we ' re thinking regarding caring this program onward in the future. Now, these 4 programs that I just spoke. about are all included on the COVID-19 Information Center. And also in simply a min we ' re actually going. to jump out as well as I ' m mosting likely to show you what that center resembles. In addition to those 4 programs, though,.
we likewise fairly just recently stood up two added data sets. And one of them measures details on exactly how.
state as well as city governments have actually been influenced in terms of their sales tax collections. The Home Pulse Survey and the Small Business. Pulse Survey programs both aid us comprehend just how families and also exactly how small services are. being impacted by the pandemic.But we likewise recognize that our state and regional. federal governments are likely being affected. I'recognize in the state of Maryland where I live,. the state has seen a significant decline in the sales tax obligations that they gather for gas. since such a huge portion of us in Maryland are not travelling each and every single day to function. I regularly made use of to fill out my storage tank greater than. as soon as a week. I ' m now going practically 2 weeks between gas. fill ups. That ' s absolutely mosting likely to be impacting my. state as they ' re not going to be accumulating sales taxes.So, we created an unique survey that really.
collects information posting data on regular monthly state sales taxation.
And also I would actually encourage you all to inspect. this out. The 2nd and last program that I intend to.
speak about is the Month-to-month State Retail Sales report. A number of you are most likely normal users of. our MRTS Study the Monthly Retail Profession Study.
This is among our financial indicator programs. that offers remarkably prompt data about just how the retail industry has actually been impacted by. the pandemic. Looking at the MRTS data you can clearly see.
that there ' s some retail associated industries that have seen a significant decline in their sales,. something like garments stores, for instance, whereas other retail markets, like non-store. stores( what we typically think of as on-line shopping )has actually seen a boom in their sector. These Regular Monthly Retail Trade Study data are.
very useful to recognizing the nationwide impact of the pandemic but the information because study.
is only shown at the nationwide degree. We recognized that the influence on retail sales.
was not going to be uniform throughout all states so we are now releasing state level'information. on retail sales.And you can actually see exactly how retail industry is.
being influenced extra in some states than others. Currently to provide accessibility to every one of this information,.
individuals, of course, could merely most likely to the specific program web pages, and also I have actually given the links. to really accessibility that information.
And we understand that there are some of you that. are possibly already doing that. I recognize at the very start of the presentation. a person asked a question about are these statistics that are available in the COVID-19 Data Center. also readily available in the Census Bureau ' s data API.The short answer is yes but the longer response
. is not all of them. Our information are available for download, as well as some. are offered in the new API. As well as while some customers like obviously this.
one specific individual is a person who knows with APIs as well as is comfy pulling mass. volumes of data, we understood that a great deal of individuals were not going to have that degree of proficiency
. They were going to require to have some information. assembled to them for their purposes.
And also what -were going to desire to go see visualizations. of the data so they could really type of contrast one area
to another.They were mosting likely to intend to have a type of.
pre-format, if you will, of the information available to them for download. So, the result of those conversations is the
. COVID-19 Data Center. What you ' re seeing on your slide now.
are some screenshots from the COVID-19 Information Hub.And I'' m currently mosting likely to jump out of this PowerPoint discussion as well as really do an online demo of the center for you so you can see what various other brand-new things that were consisted of in Version 2.0 of the center versus what are the features that were there from before. So, to reach the COVID-19 Information Hub, we go to Demographics Bureau'' s main page, http://www.census.gov. We put our arrow over browse by topic and also we click the Emergency Monitoring Web Link. This is presently where the COVID-19 center is staying. When I click on Emergency Management the web page is going to revitalize. This is the web page that we have actually been keeping all the info concerning the various cyclones as well as fires and floodings and other catastrophes during last year.You all understand that we had a really active cyclone period, to the point that we really had to dip into the Greek alphabet. However this is really where our coronavirus web page and also info is available.
So, if you click the Coronavirus Pandemic symbol, after that go in advance and also click
over right here, we ' re actually mosting likely to lunch our Coronavirus Pandemic Resource web page. On this resource web page we have a number of things.At the very leading we have a link to Version 2.1 of the COVID-19 Data Hub. Simply today
( or late last night) we deployed Version 2.1 that consists of some significant updates to the
center, and also you can see those updates are in fact noted right here for you all to see.
Listed below the web link to the COVID-19 Information Hub are after that the web links to those four programs that I spoke about– Company Development Stats, the Small Business Pulse Study, Community Strength Estimates and the Household Pulse Survey. These links bring you over to the Program web page for that specific 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 links to the Census Company Home Builder Regional Expert Edition tool as well as then listed below that we had some pre-defined deep web links into our data.census.gov platform for you to access crucial information from the American Area Survey. I ' m going to return up right here to the leading and also I ' m mosting likely to click the COVID-19 Information Center so I can show you what are what is the info that we have in this center and also what are the important things that we just recently added.So, at the very, very leading
of the hub we have a web link to a record that tells you what ' s new, what have we recently added and what ' s. coming quickly. We have an area for you to sign up to stay. attached regarding this center to receive alerts when we ' ve made updates to it.
And this is that really important responses link. that I stated. Please, please, please as you utilize details.
from this center and also you locate points really valuable or perhaps you locate some things that you desire. to talk about, I would certainly motivate you all to please as well as to do that.Now listed below these web links we have a number of. key stats regarding the populace aged 65 and older
, the uninsured population and the.
variety of organizations, both company organizations (almost 8 million businesses with paid employees ).
and also the 26 million or two independent people, what we called Nonemployer Statistics. Below there is what we call the Influence Planning. Record. And this is in fact where we ' re seeing the. first modification in Version 2.1 of the COVID-19 Information Center.
Many of you understand that we have actually consisted of information.
in this hub since the latest vintage of the American Area Study and our financial.
programs. So, in this update we ' ve actually updated. the data to the most recent American Area
Study information. I ' m truly delighted to'report that and also we '
ve. also upgraded our business information. So, these stats below'that utilized to be. from the 2017 Region Company Patterns and Nonemployer Data programs are currently readily available.
for the 2018 programs. We ' ve also added some statistics in the 2017. Economic Census to the COVID-19 Data Center. They were not in here initially. Furthermore, if you had clicked on this bar. graph prior to you would certainly ' ve seen a graph that reveals data for chosen four digit sectors. that are most likely being influenced by the pandemic.We obtained a great deal of responses from clients around. those industries that we picked, needing to know why we had chosen those certain markets.
Did we believe those were the only ones that.
were being impacted? And also what we recognized is that while those were. extremely useful, looking at information at a wider to digit NAICS sectors was possibly a much better. way of doing it. So you can see we ' ve currently updated these visualizations. to reveal info at the two-digit NAICS market level. Every one of these data can be
downloaded as well as printed. and you can really include this right into your own work.
Now, this is a 2 web page report. This entire second web page includes information.
again from the American Area Survey, some truly excellent info that helps people. comprehend the possible impacts of the pandemic.I do intend to swiftly make a mention that this. is where one of our adjustments that we are intending on performing in the future is likely to occur.
We understand that as we are moving into vaccination.
circulation, that some of the statistics that we have in this system that were valuable. to recognize the spread of the pandemic
, the spread of the virus across the United. States, we understand that some
additional stats could be helpful to help comprehend the circulation.
of vaccine across the nation. As an example, we understand currently from looking. at the Group 1A and 1B and 1C and Team 2 and also Team 3 groups that occupation is. most likely mosting likely to contribute in sending out injection to Americans.So, we are considering adding some extra. data to the influence report that would certainly aid users recognize those line of work. Now, you ' ll notification
that these data are. readily available at the state degree. The application instantly defaults to. New York State but the applicants can proceed and also change the location to whatever state.
they want. And afterwards ultimately you can likewise enter and also look.
at these data by county.So rather of looking at the data simply for. Colorado, if I want to specifically check out information for Boulder County I can go in advance and.
click Stone Region and also currently we ' re really seeing the group as well as
organization information for. Rock County, Colorado. Listed Below the Effect Planning Report we have web links.
to those four surveys that I was discussing. For 3 of the four links we have actually.
built a 2nd control panel that supplements the control panel that is readily available on the BFS
,. Small Organization Pulse as well as the Neighborhood Durability Estimates pages. For the Family Pulse Survey, the link right here. brings you out to the Family Pulse Study page where you can go in and in fact search.
the information there. We haven ' t actually produced a separate dashboard. for the Home Pulse Survey.
As well as in Version 2.1 you can see we ' ve now included. tiles that especially bring you over to those state sales tax obligation collections as well as those. month-to-month state level retail sales reports again.This system is developed to be a main. database for all great deal of the details that we contend the census bureau to assist. people understand the possible effects of the pandemic. Below these floor tiles we then have these plan
. maps. The policy maps permit customers to search picked. data that are shown in that dashboard at the very top at a more thorough degree of. location. So, as an example, you can see this map number. one is considering information on employer companies from area business patterns. If I cycle with this checklist we will after that. come to info regarding the Lodging and Food Services sector.This is considering the sales per establishment. as the shade and also the dimension of the circle is the variety of services. If I intended to understand how is the circulation. of food solution organizations in Texas, I might go on and focus on the map. And as I zoom this map in the map is going. to freshen as well as we ' re going
to begin to see county level data. As well as we can do that more utilizing a few of the. other maps. So this is a great source to type of visualize. business and also
demographics of the locations that are most likely being impacted by the pandemic.The very last of these 9 maps here is a. Social Vulnerability Index. This is actually'data that we have actually gotten. from the Facility for Disease Control, the CDC, that shows just how regions are at risk to. specific concerns. Currently these maps can of program be
shared. We ' ve added the share feature right here. And also because this Website was produced for
. us by Esri, every one of the info that we '
ve seen thus far is offered for you GIS professionals. to be able to incorporate into your very own systems. Listed below there we have integrated web links to. some of our crucial information collections.
We recognized that a great deal of individuals of the COVID-19. Data Center were mosting likely to want viewing this data online and also we additionally understood that there.
was going to be a whole lot of individuals that would of wished to have the ability to download and install the data.
and integrate it right into their very own tasks, right into their own research, right into their own Internet.
sites. So we had given accessibility to a few of those.
information from this Highlighted Data Sets page. And afterwards method down right here at the bottom of the.
page this type of a regional data set search permits you to go in and accessibility all of the. information that we ' ve integrated on the page.I can go right into
business Features. tab as well as I might actually enter and download and install each of the different data sets that we ' ve. integrated into this center.
You might see here is our non-employer data. information, state level data and county level data
from the 2018 Nonemployer Stats, the.
NES program, the area service patterns, et
cetera. Now you ' ll notification that the downloads are offered. to you in both Excel file layout and also as a function layer. Once more, collaborating with Esri, they ' ve been really.
wonderful to deal with since they ' ve made the information available right into a feature layer service. so GIS experts who are used to utilizing the ArcGIS applications as well as ArcGIS online. can in fact integrate this data into their projects. Now the last component of the hub I desire to talk. around is the component that was truly upgraded one of the most during Variation 2.0 of the center. As we ' ve been talking with government firms. regarding the job that we ' ve done on this hub, we had discussions with representatives. from FEMA.
So they were quite delighted with what we had. carried out in this COVID-19 Data Hub and they asked us if we would have an interest in possibly. holding links to a few of the data sets that they have actually been assembling and providing. as part of their work.Working with the Argonne National Labs, they. assembled a set of information sets that were readily available for accessibility and for download, but those information. sets were just available to a limited audience, folks who had accessibility to the Argonne site who. had a username and password to enter and also do that, which was mainly federal firms. What they actually desired was for these truly.
useful information collections to be revealed to a much bigger audience. And also as you can see we thought that this was. a terrific suggestion. We truly believed that giving access to. these data collections to a bigger target market actually not only celebrated the worth of those data. sets themselves yet also commemorated the value of mashing up Census Bureau information with various other. data.And you ' ll notice from the Logos below that. these data collections are not just from various other federal statistical agencies like SBA, USDA and BLS. but they ' re additionally from private-sector companies Vision Lab, Womply, Google even the American. Alliance of Museums to understand just how galleries
possibly are being affected. So, to obtain to this data, we click on the Open.
Data Sets page. As well as this will certainly currently bring us to a website where. we can enter as well as accessibility those 38 data sets that we have actually supplied links to from the COVID-19.
Information Center. Those data collections are arranged into three wide. categories.All of the information sets related to service as well as.
business economics are available by clicking this tab. All of the data sets that relate to people.
as well as homes( sort of the demographic information )are available under this tab, and finally. all the data sets that are relevant to federal government solutions are readily available below. Listed below those three tabs we have given a. choose web link to 8 of the data sets under that broad classification. So you can see as an example under this group. organization and business economics we have the pay-roll-
Paycheck Defense Program or PPP lending. data from the SBA that consisted of a key resource that ' s readily available along with points like once a week. organization closures from a personal field firm called Womply.As you can see on the slide we offer you info. regarding the level of geographic data that is offered there and also we ' ve explored information links. enable you to leap out as well as go straight to that program service providers information set web page where you. can then access that information. Currently I will certainly tell you that this is a huge initial. step I assume towards making this information easily accessible to an audience.The experience you will certainly have when you go to. each of these explore information web links will certainly be various, but again, you are undergoing the SBA Web. website or the BLS Website or the BEA Internet website or the Opportunity Insights Website to accessibility. these information.
However we are currently in appointment as well as discussions. with FEMA as well as others to see if there ' s other points that we can do to in fact supply. extra detailed accessibility to these information collections. Now if we click on one of these tabs here.
we get the full listing of all the data sets under that certain topic.So we
can see under this Organization and also Business economics.
topic there actually 15 data sets– details from BEA, BLS, SBA, and so on. So you can see there ' s a great deal of information that. we have actually incorporated into this hub from the Bureau of Labor Data. I would really urge you all to check.
these out. I have actually currently talked with a variety of information. individuals that are currently considering mash ups they intend to currently do due to the fact that we ' ve made. this information available to such a larger audience.So I ' m actually proud of the reality that we made.
the data available since it really commemorates the value that all of us can give understanding. the potential impacts of the pandemic. So, that brings me'to the end of my major component
. of my demo. I ' m mosting likely to proceed as well as switch over back over. to my PowerPoint slide to enable us to sort of close this out.
So, we went through the various studies.
and the different aspects of the website. We spoke regarding the highlighted data sets. as well as just how you can access those information in their raw type. Allow ' s currently close this
out by discussing. what ' s can be found in the future. Currently as much of you recognize we are regularly. updating these regular monthly COVID associated programs, those 4 programs that I was discussing. We will remain to use updates to these.
to the center to show the current data.So, for example, several of you may have
seen. the news the other day that the Small Service Pulse Survey, which just recently finished. Phase 3 of the Small Company Pulse Survey, is most likely mosting likely to be moving right into the future.
right into a Phase 4. As a lot of you recognize who have actually accessed that. Local Business Pulse Study information the inquiries that were asked on each of the three existing. phases, the first 3 phases of the Small company Pulse Survey progressed over time.We began asking inquiries at the actual beginning. yet then didn ' t make good sense to keep asking in Phase 2. Some of those concerns were gotten rid of and also we. started including new inquiries that made more sense as the pandemic was advancing as was.- as it was changing. That will continue to take place as we move on. so users can see to it that were getting information out to you that can
assist you understand how. companies are not only replying to but hopefully recovering from the pandemic. Additionally, we offer this update to the.
Area Company Patterns, Nonemployer Stats, and also Economic Demographics information. These were simply included
in Version 2.1. This was a what ' s coming slide.What ' s coming has in fact taken place so I ' m. actually pleased about that. As well as once again, we gave those added links. to those other Census Bureau programs that supply relevant details. The state tax sales tax obligation collection and also the. details on monthly state retail sales. We are also in the process of adding a brand-new. dashboard from our International Data source program. We ' ve understood that in speaking with customers that. providing some information not only aided the USA yet likewise including some. of the information that we have readily available from our IDB could be truly useful so we ' ve really. remained in the procedure of doing that. That'will likely be included in
Version 2.2 of. the center. And finally we are mosting likely to be updating the. American Neighborhood Study information to not only reveal the most up to date vintage which we ' ve currently. done yet likewise possibly consist of some additional information variables that are not included right.
now in the COVID-19 Data Center yet that might be truly useful to people as we relocate onward.
right into the recovery from the pandemic. I already discussed as well as teased you all little. about the truth that we are considering some market as well as profession type details yet. I simply intended to point
out that that ' s a work in progress.We ' re still dealing with that. So, to sum up'our discussion today, I. intend to thanks all for participating in. The Census Bureau has a remarkable riches of. data that can provide info on not just the prospective impacts yet likewise the actual. effects of the pandemic. Programs like business Development Statistics,. Small Organization Pulse Study, Household Pulse Survey, month-to-month state sales tax collections. and also regular monthly state retail sales records all offer us information regarding just how services
and also. families are actually being impacted by the pandemic. We ' ve in fact composed a number of America. Matters tales that feature some info from these programs that highlight things. like people who are more youthful and are living alone are being influenced in an extremely various. method than folks who are living with somebody else, perhaps with their household.
So those kind of data are actually fantastic. as well as insightful. I would encourage you all
to check out our. America Counts web website to see more concerning these various other stories that we ' ve written.To comprehend the prospective influences of the. pandemic our financial programs and
our service, our market programs like the American. Community Survey, area organization patterns, Non-employer Statistics as well as the Economic Demographics. can give some actually valuable details on exactly how homes and services are being. impacted or potentially being influenced. And once more I wish to produce a huge plug to. our folks in the Community Resilience Estimates Program; undoubtedly this is a wonderful program. that I ' m sure will certainly live well past the pandemic to recognize exactly how durable areas are. to not only the pandemic but additionally other type of disasters. Ultimately, we produced this hub to provide. data from these picked programs in useful
instinctive dashboards and maps where you can. search the information and also in downloadable resources.We truly want you all to be using this. information. As well as finally, as my last point below once more and. time and again I claimed we want your comments. We wish to comprehend how useful this hub. is to you all, points that we have on right here. And if there are additional
points that we. can do that would certainly make these information better to you and also to various other decision-makers in your. sector, in your communities we intend to hear that.
This has actually been a nimble project has actually advanced. a whole lot over just nine or ten months approximately that the center has been going. So, with that I intend to claim thank you to you. all and allow ' s see concerning proceeding and taking some concerns. Organizer: And also as a suggestion … Greg P: Hey There Andy, this is Greg, did you
want. to take some over the phone or some chat concerns first? What ' s your choice
? Andy Hait: Yes, driver if you wish to see.
if individuals have inquiries that they wish to ask over the phone if you want to say something. concerning them entering their inquiries through the phone.And while we ' re waiting on them to do that. we can take a number of chat concerns. That would certainly be fantastic Greg. Coordinator: Sure. If you like to ask a question currently. You may push Celebrity 1 as well as clearly videotape your. name for inquiry intro.
Once more to ask inquiries over the phone lines. press Celebrity 1 as well as plainly tape your name for question intro. Just a couple of minutes to see if we have questions. over the phone lines. Thank you.
Greg P: Great'thanks driver. And also Andy so we ' ve obtained -we ' ve had a hectic chat. line right here. Allow ' s see below one inquiry came
in as well as the. participant composed, “I ' ve had area companions ask why the Demographics Bureau isn ' t asking concerns.
about masks …– allow ' s see here …– concerning mask wear in the Household Pulse and Tiny.
Company Surveys.Thoughts on consisting of that in the future
?” Andy Hait: Yes, excellent question. So clearly the inquiry is that we are asking. all of these programs are ones that we feel we can gather valuable data for as well as likewise. are inquiries where various other data providers are not currently asking that exact same concern.
As important as the information is that the Demographics. Bureau is accumulating and also publishing about the effects of the pandemic, we are certainly. not the only US government analytical company and even state agency that is accumulating details. on the impacts of the pandemic.And indeed, there are other companies that are. collecting info on points'like mask using and
things like that. I know we ' ve all listened to the records about the
. impacts as well as just how “mask using impacts the spread of the virus. Those are data that are really being collected. to aid determine the influence of mask enduring others. So I would encourage you all to check that.
out. The 38 information establishes that we had actually added web links to. in the COVID-19 Data Hub would certainly represent a rather considerable share of the overall quantity.
of information yet that list is not the complete checklist.Even in the brief time since that listing has
been released I'' ve had a variety of customers that have contacted me as well as claimed, “” Andy I don'' t. see the complying with information set in your list.How do we add much more information to this hub? “That ' s. component of that feedback that'I so believe is so essential. So I would certainly encourage you all if there are. various other data sets that you have recognized that you believe would be useful for us to add. below whether it ' s from your association or your organization or from your -another information. company that you ' ve recognized please let us recognize, so fantastic question'. Greg P: Driver did any inquiries can be found in. over the phone? Planner: Yes.
I ' m revealing we have one concern; your line. is now open. (Caller 1): Yes.
Andy Hait: Hello?( Caller 1): Can you hear me?
Andy Hait: Yes I can.( Customer 1): Okay a number of things. I am a farmer, a tree farmer and also when you.
asked the 7 inquiries concerning the family members household effect with the house study.
are farmers being identified concerning that due to the fact that some of this PPP and the Economic Calamity.
Loans, the EDL is not coming down to us so we are being influenced. Andy Hait: Right. So, I'' m sorry to listen to that you'' re not seeing.
some of that. What I would certainly urge you to do is inspect.
out the House Pulse Survey Internet site to find out regarding exactly how we in fact drew the sample.
that we made use of to in fact send out to those homes to be surveyed. The Demographics Bureau is really respectable regarding.
exactly how we conduct our sample studies. I have invested 33 years functioning in our financial.
directorate the Census Bureau and also I'' ve constantly been astonished about the lengths that we most likely to.
guarantee that we have a good rep sample of services in our monthly and quarterly.
and also yearly and routine business surveys.I ' m sure the specific very same point has also applied. to the Family Pulse Study
so I put on ' t assume they especially omitted particular groups. Whether they over tested a particular location. or not is a good concern.
I would truly urge you to take a look at. that Home Pulse Study Website to
see just how were the households chosen, what was. the example size of the Household Pulse Survey because they provides you some indicator of. the number of families were likely picked for the examples, and so on. So yes I would urge you to check that. out. Now obviously when it pertains to circulation. of monies through these various different programs that have actually been developed by government firms. like PPP and also CARES Act, and so on those monies are being dispersed to those different areas. in a range of different ways.And among the things I ' ll state is if you
look. at a few of those added
data sets that we ' ve now included in the center you can see rather. quickly just how points like PPP car loans were dispersed to companies a little various
than the. CARES Act cash was distributed. In lots of means the money was dispersed to.
either specific cities or to regions or perhaps to the state in its entirety or just how that cash. after that received from the city or the regions or the state overall to the specific families. and services in their areas was rather left as much as the neighborhood territory to really. make that decision. So, there ' s a variety of various methods. The information is actually pretty remarkable to comprehend. exactly how we been responding to the pandemic and also maybe how we should certainly be reacting in the.
future.So with any luck I answered your concern.( Customer 1): Due to the fact that it ' s impacting also our.
vaccination circulation. Being country there ' s extremely few health centers and also.'physicians sites.
So as you ' re doing the 1A'and also the 1B circulation.
of the 2 various injections profession, age and also location is influencing us. Andy Hait: Yes, absolutely. I know that is the vaccine is being rolled. out the various groups, the demographic groups that are being included in each of. the circulation differs widely from state to state.I recognize in Maryland where I live instructors were. consisted of in among our initial, our first teams 1A and also 1B
whereas in various other states educators.
weren ' t mosting likely to be obtaining their vaccines till maybe later on. So, it ' s been a fascinating point. I think in several means we are figuring this. out as we go along as well as each state has been enabled to kind of do their very own point. We ' ll see how that moves onward into 2021. so excellent question. Thank you a lot for calling.( Caller 1 ): Thank you Andy. Andy Hait: You ' re welcome. Driver any other
calls concerns on the. phone? Coordinator: I ' m presently revealing no additional. questions currently. Andy Hait: Okay Greg any other conversation questions.
we can discuss? Greg P': Well allow ' s see, we ' ve got a number. of people thanks for an useful Webinar.A couple inquiries on social susceptability. One states, what are the leading line differences. between neighborhood resilience quotes and social vulnerability? Andy Hait: Yes, that ' s a terrific inquiry. So, to comprehend how the Center for Illness. Control figured out and calculated that Social Susceptability Index I would truly encourage. you to have a look at their Internet site. The links to that page is just one of the links. that ' s consisted of in that checklist of 38 data established web links. I don ' t even want to attempt to do it any type of injustice.I know that I won ' t do how they determine. that index in any sort of method. For the Neighborhood Resilience Quotes Program.
though we identified what were those 11 danger aspects that were the ones that were proper. As well as we after that used those danger aspects to.
the micro level information from the American Community Study. So primarily we took those risk aspects, we. checked out the people actions from the American Community Survey we used those. risk elements to that and afterwards we after that re-tabulated the American Area Survey data to show. to recognize those locations, those sorts of tracts as an example that fulfilled one of the. threat factors or 2 of the danger elements or three or more of the threat variables or for that. matter none of the danger variables. So, we had a little more
state over what. we determined. And a lot of those danger elements were figured out. by assessments we
had from various other professionals, various other companies that stated yes you require.
to make certain that you include age as one of the vital danger variables or perhaps you require to. include information on populace thickness as one of those essential 11 risk factors.So once more I ' d motivate you to check out the. documentation for the area resilience quotes, comprehend what the degree of elements. were and also once again how we applied them to the data and also progressing
just how we may'alter. those threat factors moving on to be ones that are more ideal for fires and also floodings. and typhoons and hurricanes and various other type of disasters that we experience in the US. Greg P: Okay.
An additional question is, Is a feasible to get. house pulse data not in the interactive tool as a time collection or would an individual have. to enter into weekly ' s table independently and draw the data manually?” Andy Hait: Yes, that ' s an excellent question.So, the Household Pulse Study Website provides. access to downloadable documents that can be pulled down so you can do this job yourself. And a number of those data collections are private.
period period data sets. Nevertheless, we simply began launching several of. the information from these studies in our API. To ensure that ' s a best usage case for a person that. could intend to pull information for numerous time durations perhaps weekly that the House. Pulse Survey was done on a particular subject that was asked in the House'Pulse Study. for that period.
The API would certainly be an excellent means to go in as well as. actually gain access to that wider information or that information across numerous timespan. So indeed that ' s a terrific usage instance for the API. Greg P: Okay a number of questions was available in. on urban and country data.How do we obtain the metropolitan and also rural data from. the Pulse Family Study information? Yes, so I am not mindful to be fairly sincere. whether they published specifically the urban country breakout in the Home Pulse Survey. data.
I understand they have details at the national. state, county and also city
levels yet I ' m unsure if they really used. that metropolitan rural outbreak on there.
Of course, we do have other geographic sources.
at the Census Bureau that would enable you to associate'a certain area whether with.
– whether that area was mostly urban or largely rural. So you can kind of to that organization on your own. but I wear ' t think we in fact released the data for the Family Pulse Study in
the. metropolitan country breakout. What I would certainly motivate you to do is please. send me an email.My e-mail address is here on the slide right. now'. Send me an email as well as I will certainly make sure I get. with our Home Pulse Survey individuals so
that they can address that concern far better than. I can. Greg P: Allow ' s see. I believe we covered most of them right here. If I ' m missing out on individual ' s question I
say sorry. Andy ' s details is on the display there.
Yet Andy that- that ' s most of the conversation concerns. Andy Hait: Okay. Billy did you intend to act on anything. may be that I covered throughout the presentation'that you want to provide some extra comments. on?'Billy Gamble: I think I ' m all right for now. There are a couple of conversation concerns that can be found in. that I responded to so my information gets on our branch info is on
the our branch information. is on the screen so that users can really feel guests can do not hesitate to call us by phone or email.Andy Hait: Great. Okay well once again thank you all a lot. If there is nothing else concerns, driver any. more questions for the phone? Organizer: There are no doubt online. at this
time. Andy Hait: Great. Well again thank you all a lot for taking. break of your hectic routines.
