  • RE: Number of Households by Percentage of FPL

    David Dorer
    David Dorer

    The poverty threshold is determined for families that consist of a single person. See

    www.census.gov/.../poverty-measures.html

    In general there are poverty tables for counts of individuals who are in families (does not include group quarters) and counts…

  • Large uptick in "Other" mode usage for commuting between 12am and 1am

    mattwigway
    mattwigway

    I'm looking into how commute modes change over the course of the day, and one interesting thing I've found is that, in the 2022 ACS PUMS, 18% (weighted) of workers who reported arriving at work between 12am (inclusive) and 1am (exclusive) reported using…

  • TENURE (RENTER/OWNER) ACS TABLES at person level

    David Dorer
    David Dorer

    Does anyone know if there are any 5 year ACS tables with tenure (renter/owner) at the person level rather than the householder level ?  For example if I want to know how many people live in rented housing for a census tract, is there a way to do this?…

    This table will get you a lot of information on the age 60+ population, but not specifically the data you're after: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=s0102&tid=ACSST1Y2019.S0102

    The vehicles available tables splits for age 65+ so you'll have…

  • RE: ACS 5 year data IPUMS Class of worker variable 0 value allocation

    Rebecca Tippett
    Rebecca Tippett

    I'm still confused. IPUMS has the code 0 = N/A for not in universe (<16 or haven't worked in last 5 years) and the COW variable has the same classification (coded b). Looking at the data dictionaries, the coding schema appears identical whether…

    That explains it - thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  I am not proficient in PUMS (I need to be). Can I get the 2020 census population via excel or csv format?

    Dear Adam,

    To comment on Glenn's comment. I've just been through a round with the people at the Census on reconciling "below poverty" from the PUMS with "below poverty" for table B17001.  Poverty is not defined for households…

    Hello Saima, It looks like those estimates are not released for Miami City (https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B01001D&g=0400000US12.160000&tid=ACSDT1Y2019.B01001D&hidePreview=true). You might have to resort to using the PUMS.

  • RE: Same-Sex Couples Data in ACS 2014-18?

    My understanding of the Census Bureau process is that this won't happen retroactively. You can always estimate from the PUMS microdata (although in the near future, who knows what's going to happen with the differential privacy algorithms applied to it…

    David Dorer

    Look at B17024   The age categories are 55-64  and 65-74 and  75 and over

    the poverty levels are in intervals starting at below 50% going up to 500% +   there are 12 different intervals.

    Since you are doing all of NM, you could use the NM PUMS file and create…
