LEHD makes available several data products that may be used to research and 
characterize workforce dynamics for specific groups.  

The LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) used by 
OnTheMap are available for download below. 
Version 7 of LODES was enumerated by 2010 census blocks. 
Previous versions of LODES were enumerated with 2000 census blocks.

Data files are state-based and organized into three types: 
Origin-Destination (OD), 
Residence Area Characteristics (RAC), and 
Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC), 
all at census block geographic detail. 
Data is available for most states for the years 2002-2015.

To browse the LODES data files in their directory structure 
or to access them with a FTP program go to:

https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/lodes/LODES7/fl/

For the research and analysis of the 2010 Census Redistricting 
Summary File and Summary File 1 at the Census Block geography level. The data 
contains selected fields from the 2010 Census. Census Block Groups 
are geographic entities made up of Census Blocks and that are 
contained within the same Census Tract. Block Groups generally 
contain between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The Redistricting Summary File was downloaded from the Census in .pl format 
from http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/Florida/ 
and the database was compiled using the process steps in 
http://www.census.gov/rdo/pdf/0HowToUseMicrosoftAccessShells.pdf

The 2010 TIGER line files were downloaded from the following site:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshp2010/tgrshp2010.html
When received the data was in Geographic Lat/Long projection. 
The data was projected to Albers HPGN.

The data was then joined to the 2010 Tiger/MAF shapefile based on the 
GEOID10 field. Selected fields (see below) were renamed to be similar to cenblk2000
fields and duplicate fields were deleted.
The following fields were extracted from the tables and renamed:
P0010001 - TOTAL POPULATION
P0010003 - WHITE ALONE
P0010004 - BLACK
P0010005 - AMERICAN INDIAN
P0010006 - ASIAN
P0010007 - NATIVE HAWAIIAN
P0010008 - SOME OTHER RACE
P0010009 - 2 OR MORE RACES
P0020002 - HISPANIC OR LATINO 
P0020003 - NOT HISPANIC OR LATINO
P0030001 - TOTAL POPULATION 18 YEARS AND OVER
H0010001 - TOTAL HOUSING UNITS
H0010002 - OCCUPIED
H0010003 - VACANT

The following QaQc procedures were performed:
-exported original shapefile to file GeoDatabase
-FGDLAQDATE added based on date GeoPlan acquired data from source
-Added PCT and DEN fields based on calculations defined in attribute definitions
-Added BLKCHANGE field based on data derived from the Census 2000 Tabulation 
Block to 2010 Census Tabulation Block Relationship File. This file is available 
as a text file for download from the US Census Bureau.
-Added GEOID00 field from data taken from 2010 Census Tabulation Block Relationship File. 
This field links back to CENBLK2000 using the STFID field.
-Changed name from tl_2010_12_tabblock10.shp to CENBLK2010_MAR11

Summary File 1 was downloaded from the US Census Bureau from 
http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/Florida/fl2010.sf1.zip  
and the database was compiled using the process steps in 
http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/0HowToUseMSAccessWithSummaryFile1.pdf

The data was joined to CENBLK2010_MAR11 based on the GEOID10 field.
