The data is available nationally for the Block Group. To extract the data for Pennsylvania the national data was grouped by state and then extracted to a new file for each state. The data was pivoted from narrow to wide data based on GEOIDs so that one row is one Block Group, and each field represents either an estimate or margin of error for a particular racial category. The fields were renamed to fit character length requirements. The shapefile was zipped into a folder with supporting files, ACS documentation, and this README. Processing was primarily completed using the pandas library. The tabular data for Pennsylvania was joined with geospatial data from Census TIGER files on the unique identifier field (GEOID) and extracted as a shapefile. Processing for the join used pandas and geopandas libraries. ##Additional Notes For more information on the ACS documentation please refer to the ACS link above in Sources as well as the ACS documentation included in this folder.
