  • RE: Inconsistencies in ACS 2022 5-Year Estimates: A Case Study of BYUI Gender Ratios

    I pulled up the College enrollment in the Rexberg Micropolitan area and I include it here.  It does show the typical gap between men and women enrolled.

    I've had a pretty busy fall, and it seemed to make sense to wait until everyone has had a chance to deal with all of this year's data, so I was thinking that I'd start connecting people to talk in January.
  • RE: Joint owner/renter monthly housing cost calculation
