NOCS Characters

Question

We have a faculty member who would like population statistics at the census subdivision level by NOCS classification.

I can find these values down to the NOCS major category (2 NOCS characters), but he requires the statistics right down to the unit group level (4 NOCS characters). Does anyone know if this is available through the DLI?

Answer

The data can be run as a custom tabulation but for standard products, it was decided that the 4 digit level was too detailed for most of the CSDs and the resulting table would contain a large number of 0 cells. The lowest level of geography for which 4-digit NOCS standard tables exist is the CMA/CA level.
