I'm somewhat new to using the data, and I'm not familiar with the imputation flag variables. I'll be reading the data accuracy file, but so far, I've just worked through the dictionary: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs…

Can you use PUMS?

PUMS variable SCHL

If you can use PUMS data, they have cost of utilities.

Dear Steve,

What is the city ?  If you can send state name county and csd (county subdivision) or place (fips and name) or csd (name and fips)  I can run it using PUMS data and my Small Area Estimation program.

Best,

Dave

There is BDSP and/or RMSP in the ACS PUMS data.  You might be able to use this as a proxy for square footage. You probably want to leverage this with other PUMS variables as covariates.  You would also need a regression model going from rooms and other…

You're correct: the ACS summary files do not have this information, so the PUMS is your best bet. IPUMS-USA has county codes, but if a county you're examining can't be identified in the PUMS data, you can use the CHAS data, a special tabulation of ACS…

I haven't used the variance replicate tables but I use replicate weights for PUMS data all the time.  I think that all you do is take the 80 x 2 tables (2 tables for each replicate) take the difference

   difference i = total population table i - in…

Thank you! Beth. I will check PUMS.
