How to Download Your Data

Note: The data are available in a tab or comma-delimited text format that must be imported into a program that will allow you to analyze the file (such as Excel).

1. Go to: Get Air Emissions Data | US EPA which has a table with yearly data tables. Download the data years desired.
2. In the “Table of Air Emissions Data by Year and Time”, select the relevant NEI file under the Triennial NEI column for years within the range of the Snapshot Sectors Graphic.
3. For 1996 – 2005, select the file with “naics” or “sics” in the file name. For example, for 2000, use the “2000sicsummarymade09” file, but for 2005, use the “naics_summary.zip” file.
4. For 2008 and onwards, click the “Data Summaries” hyperlink, then download the “Facility-level by Pollutant” File.
5. Wood products facilities are grouped under SIC codes beginning with 24 for the years 1996 and 1999 and NAICS codes beginning with 321 for the years 2002 – 2017.
6. Using the SIC and NAICS variables, filter for wood products facilities, then sum total emissions of CO, NOX, VOC, PM10, NH3, and SO2 in each year to arrive at the totals shown in this chart.

Employment

How to Download Your Data

Note: The data are available in a comma-delimited text format that must be imported into a software package that will allow you to analyze the file.

1. Go to https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html
2. Click on any link labeled “County Business Patterns: YEAR.” On the resulting page, click the “Complete U.S. File” link and download the corresponding file. Repeat this process for each year corresponding to years presented in the graphic.

4. For entities with suppressed data, the Census Bureau replaces all employment values with zeroes, and this underestimates the total number of employees in each sector. Using your software package, replace the suppression flags with the midpoint of the Data Suppression Flag employment ranges per the table below.

Empflag Data Suppression Flag	Employment Size Class		Midpoint
	Min	Max
A	0	19	10
B	20	99	60
C	100	249	175
E	250	499	375
F	500	999	750

M	100,000	>100,000	100,000

5. In your software package, filter the data for NAICS codes that begin with 321.
6. With the filter in place, aggregate the “emp” column across all records.
