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.

Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD), Residence Area Characteristics (RAC)

2015-2019 Residence Area Characteristics (RAC) for Virginia. LODES7 is based on 2010 Census Blocks.

LEHD makes available several data products that may be used to research and characterize workforce dynamics for specific groups. Learn more about this data at https://lehd.ces.census.gov/

Processing steps: Files downloaded from https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/lodes/LODES7/va/rac/ and merged into a single file for all job types, and all segments of the workforce by year. See technical document for more details on original file structure https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/lodes/LODES7/LODESTechDoc7.5.pdf.

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.

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 files 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 2002–2013.

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).

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 55 or older. The cell size is set at 200 feet; the radius is set at ¾ mile.

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.

We report results from the first comprehensive total quality evaluation of five major indicators in the U.S. Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Program Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI): total flow-employment, beginning-of-quarter employment, full-quarter employment, average monthly earnings of full-quarter employees, and total quarterly payroll. Beginning-of-quarter employment is also the main tabulation variable in the LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) workplace reports as displayed in OnTheMap (OTM), including OnTheMap for Emergency Management. We account for errors due to coverage; record-level non-response; edit and imputation of item missing data; and statistical disclosure limitation. The analysis reveals that the five publication variables under study are estimated very accurately for tabulations involving at least 10 jobs. Tabulations involving three to nine jobs are a transition zone, where cells may be fit for use with caution. Tabulations involving one or two jobs, which are generally suppressed on fitness-for-use criteria in the QWI and synthesized in LODES, have substantial total variability but can still be used to estimate statistics for untabulated aggregates as long as the job count in the aggregate is more than 10.

This is a collection of the US Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) for the Cleveland metro area.The data reflects characteristics of workplaces by census block (2020 vintage) shown as centroid points. It is based on unemployment insurance data and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). This is a useful longitudinal source for understanding economic activity and relationships between where people work and live.This dataset was exported from the Census' powerful tool called OnTheMap and merged into one dataset with a year field. Note: This includes multiple years of data for each block, so specific years must be filtered for mapping. By default, the layer loads with the latest year of data.Data GlossaryClick here, then click on "Fields" to view documentation.Consult U.S. Census LEHD technical document for additional technical information.
