02.07.24 - Demographics Category and Subcategory IDs added to Premier and Demographics APIs
3 months ago by Hannah Oren
Category And Subcategory ID fields are now available in demographic data in the Premier and Demographics APIs.
These ID fields act as a key-value pair with the category and subcategory name. When integrating demographic data, we recommend using the ID field as a unique identifier to prevent any potential breakpoints if category or subcategory names change.
The current category and subcategory ID and name combinations are as follows:
| Category ID | Category Name | Subcategory ID | Subcategory Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Race & Ethnicity | 1 | Asian/Asian American |
| 2 | Black/African American | ||
| 3 | Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx | ||
| 4 | Native American/American Indian/Alaska Native/Indigenous | ||
| 5 | White/Caucasian/European | ||
| 6 | Multi-Racial/Multi-Ethnic (2+ races/ethnicities) | ||
| 7 | Decline to state | ||
| 8 | Unknown | ||
| 27 | Middle Eastern/Northern African | ||
| 28 | Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | ||
| 1 | Race & Ethnicity Other | 9 | Other |
| 2 | Gender Identity | 10 | Female |
| 11 | Male | ||
| 12 | Non-binary | ||
| 29 | People who prefer to identify with another gender identity | ||
| 13 | Decline to state | ||
| 14 | Unknown | ||
| 3 | Gender Identity 2 | 15 | Transgender |
| 16 | Not transgender (cisgender) | ||
| 30 | People who prefer to identify with another gender identity | ||
| 17 | Decline to state | ||
| 18 | Unknown | ||
| 4 | Sexual Orientation | 19 | Gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other sexual orientations in the LGBTQIA+ community |
| 20 | Heterosexual or straight | ||
| 31 | People who prefer to identify with another sexual orientation | ||
| 21 | Decline to state | ||
| 22 | Unknown | ||
| 5 | Disability Status | 23 | Person with a disability |
| 24 | Person without a disability | ||
| 25 | Decline to state | ||
| 26 | Unknown |
