The U.S. Census Bureau released Version 6.8 of the OnTheMap application today. This version of OnTheMap includes the newest release of LODES (LODES Version 7.5), which adds data for 2018 and backfills data on federal workers in 2016 and 2017 and data on South Dakota workers in 2017. OnTheMap now contains 17 years of data (2002-2018). The underlying geography associated with the data has been updated to the TIGER 2019 vintage.

Data for 2018 does not currently contain information on firm age and size. Additionally, 2017 and 2018 data are not available for jobs with employment locations in Alaska. Data on firm age and size and records for Alaska workers may be added to LODES and OnTheMap in the future. LODES data files can be accessed at lehd.ces.census.gov/data/#lodes and an updated technical document at lehd.ces.census.gov/data/lodes/LODES7/LODESTechDoc7.5.pdf  (69 KB).

OnTheMap can be accessed by clicking OnTheMap under Quick Links here  or directly here. For additional information about OnTheMap and LODES, go to lehd.ces.census.gov/applications/help/onthemap.html. OnTheMap is supported by the state partners under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau.
