Abstract

Published by the US Census Department, the LODES dataset aggregates data about where people live and work in the United States. This data is for New York State.

Documentation

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. The LEHD program produces new, cost effective, public-use information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership. State and local authorities increasingly need detailed local information about their economies to make informed decisions. The LED Partnership works to fill critical data gaps and provide indicators needed by state and local authorities.

LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) used by OnTheMap are available for download below. Version 7 of LODES was enumerated by 2010 census blocks. Previous versions of LODES were enumerated with 2000 census blocks.

Data are state-based and organized into three types: Origin-Destination (OD), Residence Area Characteristics (RAC), and Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC), all at census block geographic detail. Data is available for most states for the years 2002–2018.

LED LODES - What is LODES data?

LED Basic Overview

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) provides data on the geographic employment patterns by employment location and residential location. Variables tracked include age of worker, earning, industry, sex, race, ethnicity, educational attainment. Forty-nine states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are active participants, although there are currently no public-use statistics for Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data files are state-based and organized into three types: Origin-Destination (OD), Residence Area Characteristics (RAC), and Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC) at census block geographic detail. Data is available for most states for the years 2002 onwards.

The Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows. The QWI are reported using detailed firm characteristics (geography, industry, age, size) and worker demographics information (sex, age, education, race, ethnicity).

A dataset that combines federal and state administrative data on employers and employees with core Census Bureau censuses and surveys, while protecting the confidentiality of people and firms that provide the data. This data infrastructure facilitates longitudinal research applications in both the household / individual and firm / establishment dimensions. The specific research is targeted at filling an important gap in the available data on older workers by providing information on the demand side of the labor market. These datasets comprise Title 13 protected data from the Current Population Surveys, Surveys of Income and Program Participation, Surveys of Program Dynamics, American Community Surveys, the Business Register, and Economic Censuses and Surveys. With few exceptions, states have partnered with the Census Bureau to share data. As of December 2008, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Puerto Rico have not signed a partnership agreement, while a partnership with the Virgin Islands is pending. LEHD's second method of developing employer-employee data relations through the use of federal tax data has been completed. LEHD has produced summary tables on accessions, separation, job creation, destruction and earnings by age and sex of worker by industry and geographic area. The data files consist of longitudinal datasets on all firms in each participating state (quarterly data, 1991- 2003), with information on age, sex, turnover, and skill level of the workforce as well as standard information on employment, payroll, sales and location. These data can be accessed for all available states from the Project Website. Data Availability: Research conducted on the LEHD data and other products developed under this proposal at the Census Bureau takes place under a set of rules and limitations that are considerably more constraining than those prevailing in typical research environments. If state data are requested, the successful peer-reviewed proposals must also be approved by the participating state. If federal tax data are requested, the successful peer-reviewed proposals must also be approved by the Internal Revenue Service. Researchers using the LEHD data will be required to obtain Special Sworn Status from the Census Bureau and be subject to the same legal penalties as regular Census Bureau employees for disclosure of confidential information. Basic instructions on how to download the data files and restrictions can be found on the Project Website. * Dates of Study: 1991-present * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: 48 States or U.S. territories

It provides valuable insights into the demographic, economic, and housing characteristics of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which can inform planning and policy decisions at the local, regional, and state levels.Data Processing Notes: Census blocks with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service.Percentages and derived counts, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name). Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the Data Table Guide for the Demographic Profile and Demographic and Housing Characteristics. Not all lines of all tables listed above are included in this layer. Duplicative counts were dropped. For example, P0030001 was dropped, as it is duplicative of P0010001.To protect the privacy and confidentiality of respondents, their data has been protected using differential privacy techniques by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The U.S. Census's LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) Dataset was used to map job and worker density in throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota. The LODES data is part of the U.S. Census's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program which records the number of jobs by workplace location and the number of workers by household location at the census block level. LEHD data is derived from data provided by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development's (MNDEED) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and the U.S. Social Security Administration.

The U.S. Cenus Bureau protects the confidentiality of the original data by using a system of multiplicative noise infusion, whereby all released data are "fuzzed." Although the positional accuracy of the data is not as good as the original MNDEED QCEW data, a more robust dataset is produced that allows allows users to not only map a general representation of overall job density (LEHD Job Density), but also map jobs by income level (see LEHD Low-Wage Job Density) and workers' residence (see LEHD Worker Household Density or LEHD Low-Wage Worker Household Density).

The census block level LEHD data was converted to a smoothly tapered surface of calculated census block values. The resulting data surface provides a good representation of job density in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota.

The gender earnings gap is an expanding statistic over the lifecycle. We use the LEHD Census 2000 to understand the roles of industry, occupation, and establishment 14 years after leaving school. The gap for college graduates 26 to 39 years old expands by 34 log points, most occurring in the first 7 years. About 44 percent is due to disproportionate shifts by men into higher-earning positions, industries, and firms and about 56 percent to differential advances by gender within firms. Widening is greater for married individuals and for those in certain sectors. Non-college graduates experience less widening but with similar patterns.

This raster analysis is based on 2015 LEHD data by location of the worker's home for all jobs. This raster layer is a point density analysis of the density of homes of workers with yearly earnings of $15,000 or less. The cell size is set at 200 feet; the radius is set at 1 mile.

Jobs and workers are classifies in three earning categories at the U.S. Census 2010 Block level: earnings of $1,250 per month or less, earnings $1,251 per month to $3,333 per month, and earnings greater than $3,333 per month. Earnings of $3,333 per month or less ($40,000 or less, annually) are consider low-wage jobs and workers.

The census block level data was converted to a smoothly tapered surface of calculated census block value. The resulting data surface provides a general representation of overall density of low-wage worker households in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota.
