  • RE: 2012 5yr Missing Block Group Tables

    Mara Kaminowitz

    I pulled up your table through the Summary File Retrieval Tool and got 2587 for 2012 LOGRECNO 0023598 (15000US060014001001) and verified the corresponding LOGRECNO and value from the 2011 table. So maybe you made an error importing the summary files?…

  • Are tables that start with "B" and "C" both considered "Detailed Tables"?

    Diana Lavery

    Hi friends, 

    I'm looking at the 2018 release schedule for this fall's ACS data.  My understanding is that the "Data Profiles" means tables that start with "DP", "Detailed Tables" mean the base tables (tables whose ID starts with "B"), and the the…

  • RE: Statistical significance using PUMS data

    Matt Schroeder

    Hi, Bill -- what I'd recommend paying more attention to is the method by which the margins of error were estimated. Bottom line, I'd recommend using the replicate weights in stats packages to do your significance tests. It'll be more accurate, and it…

    What geographic level are you looking for?
    National, single-year data (through 2015) can be found at www.census.gov/.../ssc-house-characteristics.html
    But I also do not recall seeing small-area data in any of the summary files (and I did recently look…

  • RE: Downloading Subject Tables not through AFF?

    Beth,

    Thanks for your response. This is what we're doing for the summary file, but the summary file does not include subject tables (the tables that begin with S). Is there a separate download for subject tables that doesn't require going through American…

  • RE: ZCTA Level Poverty Data, 5-Year Estimates

    Bernie
    Bernie

    I see now, the same thing is happening for me. It's happening for both Subject Tables and Detailed Tables. It seems the issue has something to do with selecting "All ZCTAs in United States" or for a given state; if you select a specific ZCTA, then other…
