I was wondering if there are any Safegraph metrics for race/ethnicity demographics of devices tracked beyond the ACS data for CBG

<!here> My group would like to start focusing on who is missing from our models, data, and the health outcomes we predict. My initial plan is to compare the device count for each CBG with the ACS demographics to see if predominantly non-white block groups have less devices compared with similar population size predominantly white block groups.

I was wondering if there are any Safegraph metrics for race/ethnicity demographics of devices tracked beyond the ACS data for CBG. Any info or feedback you have would be great!! (Or if someone has already done this and has dataset I’d love to look at results)

@Jude_Bayham_Colorado_State_U Thanks! This is helpful. I’ll be sure to keep you posted when I make some plots

Hi @Emily_Javan_University_of_Texas_at_Austin SafeGraph really only has the Open Census Data joins to help with this. (Workspace Deleted | Slack)

However, you may find the research from some other members useful!
