By default, if you specify more than one kind of geography here then the application assumes that you want to "and" the selections, keeping only areas that satisfy all criteria. For example, if you specified three counties and a metro area, you would only get data based on blocks that were in both the counties and the metro area (i.e. the intersection of the selected areas.) To override this default and choose geographies that satisfy any (rather than all) of your select criteria -- click here:

All selections made below are in addition to the state-level or distance-based filtering which you specify

County codes . Enter a list of 5-digit FIPS county codes with leading zeroes included. You may enter 3-digit codes if you selected only one state. Your output will be limited to the counties specified.
Examples:

• 29189,29510,17163,17119 (selects 4 counties in 2 states)
  
• 005,017,049 (selects 3 counties from the single state selected)
  

Metro Area codes.

Enter a list of 5-digit Core-Based Statistical Area codes here to filter based on these more current and more inclusive (they include micropolitan as well as metropolitan) areas. You can use the special value NULL to select only those places which are outside any metro or micropolitan area. See our Metro Pops report (for the larger Metropolitan SA's) or Micro Pops report (for the smaller Micropolitan SA's)to obtain these codes. (Or, you can also use Cure for the Common Codes). Examples:

• NULL (Selects areas not within a CBSA area as of 2010)
  
• 27620,42740 (Selects the Jefferson City Metropolitan and Sedalia Micropolitan Statistical Areas (MO)
  

Place codes. Enter 7-digit FIPS place codes with leading zeroes separated by blanks. You can enter 5-digit codes if only one state has been selected. Your output will be limited to the official city limits of these cities as of the 2010 census.
Enter a value of NULL to indicate that you want to exclude all areas that are not inside any place. You will get all areas that are either incorporated or within a Census Designated Place.
Examples:

• 70520,70545,70550,53780,06020
  (Saginaw City, Saginaw Township North and South, Midland, Bay City, MI)
• NULL
  You will get output that excludes any geographic area not included within a place.
  
  

Point and Distance Filter Options

Specify a latitude and longitude (location) and radius (distance) to be used as filter:

Value for radius of Circle or radius of largest Ring: Ignore selected states above, and only use radius as filter (allows for cross state boundaries)

Click to find latitude and longitude coordinates. If you just want to do a test you can enter the values 38.579054 & 92.173061 which are the coordinates of the Missouri State Capitol Building in Jefferson City, Missouri

Coordinates of Point:     degrees latitude, degrees longitude.

Define Ring criteria (if Concentric ring geocode selected above) specifying only one of the following two options:

# of equi-distant rings (integer value 1 to 10). Radius specified above will be divided by this to derive width of each Ring. -OR- Specify your own custom list of up to 10 ring radii values in ascending order (values must be greater than zero, may be fractional, and largest should equal the radius of the Circle specified above): #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10

Note: A ring is identified on output files by its outer radius. E.g., a ring of 4 to 8 miles will have code 8.
