Identifying the Opportunity
Inclusion360 powered by VantageScore is built using U.S. Census Bureau data from the 2019 5-Year American Community Survey (‘ACS Data’) combined with a sample of 15 million anonymized credit files from the three major credit reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Using this data, we can map various data elements by:
- Core-based Statistical Area (CBSA)
- Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA)
- County level
- Congressional District

Inclusion360 uses the U.S. Census Bureau’s Congressional District Relationship files to map Congressional Districts to ZIP code data. The Congressional Relationship files are based on 2010 Census and the Congressional Districts of the 116th Congress (January 2019 - January 2021). Inclusion360 has not been updated to reflect the limited number of changes to Districts for the 117th Congress.
