The data is available nationally for the County level. To extract the data for Texas, 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 based on GEOIDs so that one row is one county, and each field represents either an estimate or margin of error for a particular racial/ethnic category. Processing was primarily completed using the pandas library. To improve the usefulness of the data, we have added three categories to correspond with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) racial categories. The "Alone or In Combination" 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_AIA24 would be the sum of the "Alone" CVAP_AMI24, CVAP_AIB24, and CVAP_AIW24. For CVAP_BLK24, the field would be the sum of the "Alone" CVAP_BLA24, CVAP_AIB24, and CVAP_BLW24. For CVAP_ASN24, the field would be the sum of the "Alone" CVAP_ASI24 and CVAP_ASW24. 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. 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 County (summary level 050, based on boundaries as of January 1, 2024).
