    Matthew Brault Nick Kobel Mark Mather Here is the response I got from the Census Bureau directly.  Just some food for thought!

  • Proc surveymeans - is domain statement needed for subpop analysis?

    MyDzung Chu
    MyDzung Chu
    I read that when conducting subpopulation analysis for survey data using SAS proc surveymeans, one should use the DOMAIN statement, instead of BY and WHERE, to obtain correct SEs. I tried each of this approach with the ACS PUMS data, using varmethod=jackknife…

    Hi folks, 

    I've got a bit of a conundrum. I am trying to replicate a Pew analysis of multi-racial groups by mapping ancestry onto race (Pew's methodology is here, and is not super clear). Basically, I am using R to try to create a simple racial…

  • RE: Census Bureau plans to stop production of 3-year ACS data

    Maribeth Todd
    Maribeth Todd
    I don't often use the 3-year data, but I just found myself looking forward to a 3-year PUMS data set with all 3 years aligned with the 2010 PUMAs. Our PUMA boundaries changed significantly, making it very hard to work with multiple year data that straddle…

    Hi Cliff--

    There are a couple aspects of the CHAS data about which users should be aware and that are not well documented. 

    If you are familiar with how federal housing funds works, you probably know that what we call "80%" of Area Median Income (AMI) is often not…

  • RE: Android app: Gateway To MAST

    John Grumbine
    John Grumbine

    It has recently come to my attention that when people search the Google Play Store for Gateway To MAST (which creates custom tabulations of ACS PUMS), it sometimes does not appear first in the search results, but may be buried by a few pages, even though…

  • RE: Stata error with ACS API

    Vincent Palacios
    Vincent Palacios
    Hi andrewbreck ,

    Unfortunately, I did not. My experience has been that I've had issues from both Stata's end and from the Census, and things work one day and break the next.

    One of my colleagues has adapted a work around to use Stata and Python…
