Block-level & block group-level income projections for Washington state under different SSPs from 2020 to 2100
Description
The files "bg_binned_income_proj.csv" and "bk_binned_income_proj.csv" contain income projections for Washington state (under census geographic boundary 2010)from 2020 to 2100 at the block group and block level, respectively, based on different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). The income projections are represented by the projected household number for each of the three different income bins.
In the file, GISJOIN is the unique identifier for each block (or block group) . Each household number projection is stored in a column, where the first four characters of the column name represent the projection year (e.g., 2020, 2030), the following four characters represent the SSP (e.g., SSP2, SSP3, SSP5), and the remaining characters indicate the income bin (Income1 represents annual household income less than $18,150, Income2 represents annual household income between $18,150 and $48,396, and Income3 represents annual household income greater than $48,396). For example, "2020SSP2Income1" indicates the household number projection for the first income bin in 2020 under SSP2.
