Hello,

I found the median age by sex for Ethnicity and Hispanic status for the census tracts from the ACS 5-year estimates (2018-2022). However, I was looking for age distribution by Ethnicity and Hispanic status for 2022. Is this data available in the IPUMS NHGIS database? If not IPUMS, can I get the data from the Census Bureau?

Thank you.  
Regards  
Farzana

When I use the [NHGIS Data Finder](https://data2.nhgis.org/main) with these filters selected:

- Geographic Levels: Census Tracts
- Years: 2018-2022
- Topics: Age, Hispanic Origin

I see tables both for Median Age and for Sex by Age for “People who are Hispanic or Latino”, as in this screenshot. This sounds like what you’re looking for.

Note: These tables are in different NHGIS datasets: 2018\_2022\_ACS5a and 2018\_2022\_ACS5b. If you’d selected a Datasets filter for only one of these datasets, that might explain why you didn’t see both options.
