  • U.S. Census Bureau Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) — state business-conditions intelligence

    US state business conditions, biweekly (Census BTOS)

    Biweekly business-conditions intelligence for the 50 US states, DC, Puerto Rico and the BTOS multi-unit national grouping, from the Census Bureau Business Trends and Outlook Survey (~1.2M employer businesses): the 15 published BTOS diffusion indexes (current performance, revenues, demand, employees, hours, input/output prices, delivery time, plus 6-month outlooks) as idx_* columns, one row per (state, biweekly cycle), cycles 202319 to latest (Sep 2023 -> Sep 2026), each joined to its survey reference-period dates. Disclosure-suppressed cells are explicit nulls (never imputed; cycles 202521-202523 were hit by the Oct-Nov 2025 federal funding lapse). Adds three documented composite scores (current-conditions, outlook, business-health), their cycle-over-cycle momentum, per-cycle health ranks and tiers, trailing-year z-scores and expansion/contraction flags — a (date, state) demand driver for retail forecasting, churn models and territory planning. BTOS is the fastest official read on Main-Street conditions, biweekly where monthly series lag by weeks.
