Abstract: In this update, we use more recent LODES data from 2018 to provide updated estimates of the number of jobs of residents at the census tract level. Residence Area Characteristics (RAC) data from LODES used in this analysis describe the characteristics of jobs summarized by the residence of the worker, here summarized at the census-tract level. These data replace the 2017 RAC data that were being used in previous releases of the tool. Data are updated from 2017 to 2018 for all states except Alaska, for which data are not available for either 2017 or 2018. We continue to use data from 2016 for tracts within Alaska. In previous releases of the tool, Worker Area Characteristics data (which are an input for RAC) were unavailable in South Dakota for 2017, so we used 2016 data to account for undercounts in the tracts surrounding and within South Dakota. These 2017 and 2018 data have now been backfilled, so we no longer use the older 2016 data for these tracts. As with previous releases of these data, no federal jobs are included in this analysis.
