May 17, 2018 at 13:29 comment added albert you have to click the edit button. looks like a pencil, all the way to the left. that allows editing; then click the row(s) you want to edit, and in this case, then click delete. it works for me with this dataset.
May 17, 2018 at 3:54 comment added Christopher Klaus @albert Thank you for validating my original response would have worked. I should have left it rather than creating a second one. Just deleted the second one.
May 17, 2018 at 2:01 comment added Shane All of the edit type features aren't usable on the census map; I think it's read only
May 17, 2018 at 2:00 comment added Shane I opened the attribute table, and deleting doesn't seem to be an option, for whatever reason (the button is grayed out and not clickable). I'd rather find data that doesn't need any processing though (if possible); this is how a 5 minute download turns into a 5 day project...
May 17, 2018 at 1:49 comment added albert you're using qgis - use it to clip out each state individually. open the data, under layer, go to attribute table. census data should be grouped by each state. so simple deletion. repeat 49x.
May 17, 2018 at 1:39 comment added Shane I did, but the states are all grouped together. I need this so I can clip data to state boundaries, so the census data isn't really useful
May 17, 2018 at 1:17 comment added Christopher Klaus Did you download the census shapefiles? It certainly looks like they should be the states. census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-cart-boundary.html
