Mapping 5 Year Data

I’m wondering if there’s a best practice for reporting on/mapping the 5 year data with such wide margins of error, such as a 24.7% poverty rate w/ an MOE of +/-36.2, or even 0% poverty rate w/ an MOE of +/-28. For example, is there an MOE threshold that we could establish as too high to report on (leaving many counties in our map without data). This seems especially tricky when looking at differences between groups – such as difference between white and black poverty rates - when one race/ethnicity has a higher MOE than the other

    I'm reviewing the materials you passed along.

    Sarah, I am interested in how you marked the data as excessive, and your examination of race/ethnicity in general. I was hoping to compare differences in poverty levels among race/ethnicity, but that's an even more difficult challenge, as MOEs vary dramtically among groups.
