TEA Methodologies Accepted by USCIS
ACS methodology is based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data by census tract. The unemployment rate threshold is 150% of the national unemployment rate published by the U.S. Census Share.
Data source:
ACS 2021 5-year (2017-2021) Estimates from the U.S. Census Share
Census Share methodology is based on both the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics-Local Area Unemployment Statistics (BLS-LAUS) data sets. The Census share method adjusts the ACS census tract employment figure by the ratio of the BLS-LAUS county-level numbers relative to ACS county-level numbers.
Data Source:
ACS 2021 5-year (2017-2021) Estimates from the U.S. Census Share
LAUS 2022 1-year data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Rural Area Methodology considers the MSA delineation and the population.
