Greetings Everyone!  
 
The Q2 2023 Business and Location Insights data packages are now available to plug into your analytic processes. The packages include analytics-ready data from a variety of vendors as well as data-specific analysis tools which will empower users to get the most from the packaged data. Here is what you can look forward to in this release:  
 

Refreshed Data  
This contains quarterly updates for Experian 2023/2028 demographic data, D&B Business Data, Experian ConsumerView, and TomTom datasets.

 

Updated Data

  • US Census 2020:

    • The new 2020 US Census data contains new and updated geographies for the Block Group and Census Tracts for US Experian & Full US, and the US Census 2020 DHC installer.

    • Changes to the geographies and variables may have caused changes in their saved configuration in Allocate Input and Allocate Append tools for the Experian US and Full US Datasets.

    • These changes will break workflows configured with previously released data packages

 

  • US Census Demographic and Housing Characteristics:

    • Introducing the US Census 2020 DHC dataset to replace the US Census 2010 SF1 dataset

      • Provides over 9K demographic variables derived from the US 2020 Census.

 

  • Experian US and Full US CAPE:

    • Read the provided CAPE_2023_Tech_Overview for critical information on the updated data provided for the 2020 US Census.

    • We are no longer receiving updated ACS data and it is removed from Experian US and Full US Allocate datasets.

      • Experian_ACS_2019_FULLUS_Data has been renamed to remove ACS: Experian_FULLUS_2023A_Data

    • The CAPE databases updated for this release are:

      • Demographics – Current Year Estimates (CYE)

      • Demographics – Five-Year Projections (FYP)

      • Daytime Population - Current Year Estimates (CYE)
