We added some missing indexes, and things seem to be improved.
We'll continue to monitor, and welcome your feedback.

Census Reporter is having performance issues, currently aggravated by too much web crawling. We're working on fending of the crawlers so that we can get back to assessing the performance issues (while working day jobs).

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We found an aggressive search index crawler that was dragging performance down. We blocked it, and things seem to be performing better. Let us know if you find differently.

The Census Reporter website is currently taking extremely to service requests. We are investigating.

@danademaster @MetroGram @laflaneuse Only a couple of the poverty tables are available in “racial iterations” (which are problematic but best you can do without PUMS) but not the ones with ratio of income to poverty level.

https://t.co/WATQZvVm3W may help a little

We’ll do your community too if you can give us a map, or maybe we already have — visit https://t.co/Tu0ElxyoOR to see what’s available, or to make a request

Do you know a software developer who wants to be a part of a team that makes it easier for researchers and journalists to access valuable data for their work?

Share our web application developer positions with them!

@mikejcorey @pwilkebrown More complete BG labels should be showing up now. Fixed janky mis-encoded names (with diacriticals) while the hood was up. Thanks for the nudge.

@bjornwarloe @andersem fair point, but when the number is reduced to an average there’s no knowing how many people are at each level. To that point, for a little more nuance see ACS tables like B19081: Mean Household Income of Quintiles

Do people who grow up in your town tend to stick around? When young adults move in, where are they coming from?

Census migration data can answer those questions, and this story recipe walks you through using that data for your own local stories. https://t.co/xhViWcfT42

[Census Reporter @CensusReporter]

@mikejcorey @pwilkebrown Fair enough. It’s messy with long county names but we can abbreviate “Block Group” to BG to help a little.

Won’t bore you with the details but it’s messier to change in the workflow we’ve landed on, but we’ll figure something out.

[Census Reporter @CensusReporter]

@pwilkebrown @mikejcorey The names aren’t incorrect, they’re just in different tracts.

Column heads on the data table like “Block Group 1, Tract 302.01, Ramsey, MN” seem like their own kind of problem.

We figured actual geoIDs would be how those interested in BGs would make sense but open to change

[Census Reporter @CensusReporter]

@blu3r4d0n Turns out it’s 9 in the 2020 Decennial… (we don’t show the MOE for total pop but it’s ±6 in ACS 2016-2020)

https://t.co/Mdil6hpcbR

from Decennial 2020, there are 162 cities, towns, or Census designated places smaller than Grano, including 48 with zero population!
