In June, we are proud to announce a new era in accessing ready-to-use demographic data from Esri. Esri’s 2023 U.S. Updated Demographics<\/a> have been released in an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer curated into ArcGIS Living Atlas<\/a>\u00a0that enables you to easily integrate demographic data into your maps, apps, and projects.<\/p>\n

Using the new layer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Esri\u2019s Updated Demographics contains thousands of detailed demographic variables across a multitude of categories such as population, age, race and ethnicity, education, households, income, and more \u2013 all created by our team of talented demographers.<\/p>\n

We have taken a subset of the most popular demographic attributes from this suite of data and compiled them into a multi-scale Online hosted layer: Esri Updated Demographics Variables 2023<\/a>. This layer contains Country, State, County, Congressional District, and Tract level geographies with appropriate visibility ranges so as you zoom in, you see increased levels of detail. Congressional District is turned off by default, but easily enabled when needed.<\/p>\n

The layer is also complete with detailed documentation on the item details page and field metadata so you can feel confident about using the data. For example, each field contains a definition of the variable with links to methodology documents to provide a clear understanding of what the attribute means. This definition is viewable on the Data tab of the item details page<\/a> by selecting a field.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1965942,"id":1965942,"title":"field_description2_blog","filename":"field_description2_blog.png","filesize":263834,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/announcements\/whats-new-in-esri-demographics-and-living-atlas-june-2023\/field_description2_blog","alt":"","author":"7031","description":"","caption":"Viewing the field description from the item details page, Data tab.","name":"field_description2_blog","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1965452,"date":"2023-06-12 21:18:10","modified":"2023-06-12 21:18:20","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1062,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":257,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":425,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","large-width":1920,"large-height":1062,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog-1536x850.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":850,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1062,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog-826x457.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":457,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1062}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/field_description2_blog.png"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Hosted feature layers are fast, flexible, and readily accessible throughout the Esri product suite in ArcGIS Online, configurable apps, ArcGIS Pro, and more. From the layer visibility to the pop-ups and symbology, each layer can be configured to suit your project\u2019s exact needs. This layer also supports the use of Arcade to create new attributes on the fly for pop-ups or ArcGIS Dashboards.<\/p>\n
