pre-2013 ACS5 Block Group Data Error #140
Comments
Running into the same issue, trying to pull ACS5-year data for 2011 and 2012. Were you able to resolve this? |
Block group geography is not available in the Census API until 2013, so "unsupported geography hierarchy" is correct. You can see the 2013 geography doc includes I believe the only way to get block group data prior to 2013 is to download and process the sequence-based summary files. |
I am getting an error when trying to pull ACS 5-year estimates for block groups for any year prior to 2013. Other geographies work fine.
When I run the below code, I get the error:
error: unknown/unsupported geography heirarchy
example:
The documentation indicates that ACS5 is available for 2009 onward.
Any thoughts on what is going on?
