Don't want to go down a rabbit hole on HUD stuff, the table they use is B19113 (took me over an hour to find the webpage that lists which table);
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html#faq_2023:~:text=The%20basis%20for%20HUD%E2%80%99s%20median%20family%20incomes%20is%20data%20from%20the%20American%20Community%20Survey%2C%20table%20B19113%20%2D%20MEDIAN%20FAMILY%20INCOME%20IN%20THE%20PAST%2012%20MONTHS.
Not counting COVID years, I think its very unlikely \ almost impossible that margin of error >50% for MSA and whatever detailed calculations they use. Does anyone here have an idea of how often this might happen? I think at the MSA level, the data would normally be statistically valid.
Just for my notes and a rule of thumb can I just have B19113 as the magic that HUD uses and generally what they use.
