I recently downloaded data from the NEI 2020 platform via the EPA FTP and noticed that a shapefile named “public\_schools\_2018\_2019” seems to be missing from the download package.  
Could anyone please advise where I might find and download this specific shapefile?

In addition to the “public\_schools\_2018\_2019”, I also couldn’t find “ACS\_2020\_5YR\_BG\_pop\_hu\_mobile” shapefile.

Here is a link to the public schools Shapefile: [https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/spatial\_surrogates/public\_schools\_18\_19\_shp.zip](https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/spatial_surrogates/public_schools_18_19_shp.zip)

I found the ACS\_2020\_5YR\_BG\_pop\_hu Shapefile with the 2020 platform Shapefiles here, but it doesn’t have \_mobile at the end of the name:

[https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2020/spatial\_surrogates/shapefiles/US\_2020\_other\_shapefiles\_24mar2023.zip](https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2020/spatial_surrogates/shapefiles/US_2020_other_shapefiles_24mar2023.zip)

If that version doesn’t work, check the CMAS repository here:

These Shapefiles are now available here, and also apply to the 2021 and 2022 platforms.

Hi Ali,

I am looking for the “ACS\_2020\_5YR\_BG\_pop\_hu\_mobile” shapefile too. I couldn’t find it from the location Alison pointed out. Were you able to find it?

Many thanks,

Junhua

The 2020 ACS shapefile is part of the 2020 US other shapefile package.

Thank you James for the response.

What I am looking for is a shapefile file with a “sngdlmobl” attribute (Single + dual housing and manufactured housing units) to generate surrogate 137 for spatial allocation of residential wood combustion (RWC) emissions. I checked the shapefiles you pointed out. They do not have the needed field. Based on the surrogate description file, the shapefile needed is “ACS\_2020\_5YR\_BG\_pop\_hu\_mobile” which is not in the 2020 US other shapefile package

Thanks,

Junhua
