Esri is proud to announce the release of our 2011/2016 Updated Demographic Data. Our 2011/2016 data is based on Census 2010 counts and in 2010 geography to give our users the most accurate data in the most up-to-date geography available.
Census 2010 has revealed interesting changes in the demographics of our country – shifts in the distribution of the population, growth from immigration, increased diversity, fallout from the collapse of the housing market and the Great Recession, and increased vacancy rates. Using the Census 2010 data as the base for our 2011/2016 updates means those documented changes are incorporated, resulting in more accurate estimates and projections. Additionally, Census 2010 geography brings significant changes, including the addition of over 9,000 new block groups. Currency in geography matters not only in standard geographies such as counties, but also to the user-defined areas such as rings, drive times, and polygons. Using Esri 2011/2016 Data, which is based on Census 2010 data and in 2010 geography, ensures that your business decisions are based on the most accurate and current data available.
Esri’s 2011/2016 Updated Demographic database includes population, households by type and average size, age and sex, race and Hispanic origin, household income, per capita income, housing by occupancy and tenure, and more.

2011 has been a very busy and rewarding year for us at Esri. We started the year with our release of the first American Community Survey (ACS) data for all areas, with the addition of our innovative Reliability Symbol. We had two separate releases of Census 2010 data from P.L.94-171 (redistricting data) and from SF1. We are concluding this year with the release of 2011/2016 Updated Demographic data based on Census 2010 and in 2010 geography.
We look forward to 2012 and continuing to provide you with current and accurate data products.

Will BA Desktop users get a copy of the 2011/2016 demographics – either on media or via download?
If so, when will this information be available for download or on media?
Why is there no Market Profile update? Also, what’s the reasoning behind not having the labor force data for 2011?
All BA Desktop users that are current on maintenance were shipped the 2011 Data this month.
We will update the Market Profile with the release of our 2012/2017 Updates. This release will also include labor force data.
Our 2011/2016 Updates were based on Census 2010 Data and in 2010 Geography. We did this to provide you with the most accurate and current data. Since the last of the Census 2010 counts were released at the end of August 2011, we revised the 2011/2016 update roster to allow enough time to incorporate a new census base and new source data in 2011. As mentioned, our roster will be expanded in 2012.
