Deriving ACS Estimates without an existing MOE

Diana Benitez over 8 years ago

I'm trying to map the comparison between ACS 2005 - 2009 to ACS 2006 - 2010 using statistical significance with the formula recommended by the Census. This formula requires that I use estimates and margins of error. The ACS 05-09 (Census 2000) and ACS 06-10 (Census 2010) geographies do not match and cannot map. I know that ACS has relationship files that I can use to relate the geographies and estimates. But how do I relate the margins of error?

Thank you.

Thank you for all of the responses!

To elaborate a bit more... I am working with block groups and would like to compare 2005-2009 through 2009-2013 ACS data.

I studied the What Researchers Need to Know ACS document (Appendix 4) and found that I can compare overlapping ACS years by using statistical significance. But I have not come across how I can manipulate 2010 Geography MOE's to fall into 2000 Geography MOE's. www.census.gov/.../researchers.html
