Time series tables link together comparable summary statistics from multiple years for several geographic levels, down to census tracts and block groups. Geographic crosswalks support the allocation of data from one year’s geographic units to another’s, allowing analysts to construct geographically standardized data from 1990 through 2024 for a wide range of subjects and levels.
