    I have two poverty dashboards based on ACS5 data, one has a state filter, one just a full listing of counties. No prior year because of COVID etc, so I'll wait till 2022 comes out and put 2022 vs 2021 data in. I might put in a little more effort, but…

    Would the stimulus checks and the advanced child tax credits that were issued in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic be included in the income data reported in the 2021 1-year ACS estimates? The 2021 ACS dictionary lists 8 types of income, with the last…

  • HUD uses B19113 (ACS1 by default, if not stat valid then ACS5, if ACS5 not stat valid then prior averages etc etc.), does that ever happen?

    Hi Rebecca,

    Here's what I did recently in collaboration with Census for their COVID-19 Hub site, basically treated the land area value as a constant:

    B01001_calc_PopDensity = 1,000,000 * B01001_001E / ALAND

    MOE(B01001_calc_PopDensity) = 1,000…

    Hello everyone,

    I was wondering whether ACS data on inequality measures such as the Gini coefficient, median income by quintiles for counties with +65,000 inhabitants will be published for 2020. I could not find anything in the experimental data release…
