The data is available nationally for the Minor Civil Divisions (MCD). To extract the data for Michigan 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 Minor Civil Divisions (MCD), and each field represents either an estimate or margin of error for a particular racial/ethnic category. The fields were renamed to fit character length requirements. The CSV was zipped into a folder with supporting files, ACS documentation, and this README. Processing was primarily completed using Python's pandas library. To improve the usefulness of the data, we have modified three categories to correspond with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) racial categories. The "Alone" categories for American Indian or Alaska Native (fields with "AIA"), Asian (fields with "ASN"), and Black or African American (fields with "BLK") represent an encompassing racial category that is inclusive of all categories that include that race. For example, CVAP_AIA20 would be the sum of the original "Alone" CVAP_AIA20, CVAP_AIB20, and CVAP_AIW20. For CVAP_BLK20, the field would be the sum of the original CVAP_BLK20, CVAP_AIB20, and CVAP_BLW20. For CVAP_ASN20, the field would be the sum of the original CVAP_ASN20 and CVAP_ASW20 These fields are also noted in the description as being "Alone or In Combination". No other estimate categories were modified. For the estimates that were modified to fit OMB racial/ethnic categories, we also modified the Margins of Error as well. To create the new MOEs for the derived estimates, we summed the squared values of each MOE for the necessary fields, and then took the square root of the summed value. The fields that are represented with these modified MOEs correspond to the modified racial categories described above. They are rounded to the nearest hundredth. For more information on OMB racial categories, please see this link: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/omb/bulletins_b00-02/#n_1_ All of the racial estimates provided are Non-Hispanic. Breakdowns for Hispanic/Non-Hispanic by race are not provided in the CVAP special tabulation. Null values or empty cells in the CSV file retrieved from the Census are assigned the value -999999. ##Additional Notes For more information on the ACS CVAP documentation please refer to the ACS link above in Sources as well as the ACS technical documentation included in this folder (also available at this link: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/rdo/technical-documentation/special-tabulation/CVAP_2016-2020_ACS_documentation.pdf ). Please note that this dataset is derived from data collected in the five year range of 2016-2020. The Census recommends against using different datasets that contain overlapping years.
