I just wrote a blog post about my experience creating a time series dataset from the ACS.
On the surface this sounds easy: Just loop over the years, and add rows row each year.
But I ran into two big surprises with this approach: - Variables sometimes change meaning over the years - Geographies sometimes change over the years My post goes into details about how I solved these problems. And since my code is all open source, others can use and build on my code as well.
I hope it helps someone!
This sounds helpful. Thanks! Can you share the link again? It's not working for me.
It would be interesting to read about your experience with on project. Thanks for the working link, Ari.
