  • RE: Housing Cost Burden at County Level by Race/Ethnicity

    Matt Schroeder
    Matt Schroeder

    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 believe the sample sizes are much too small for that sort of breakdown. The closest you could get is by Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander. And even that will be limited. Check out the Appendices file (Appendix A) in the Summary File documentation…

  • RE: Multiple regression model with unemployment proportion as response

    Thank you so much! Is it also safe to assume that there are probably not a lot of instances where Block Group level estimates from ACS 5-year summary files are used in modeling because of their high MOEs?

    Jonathan Schroeder

  • RE: 2023 5yr PUMS Data by County

    Jonathan Schroeder
    Jonathan Schroeder

    Glenn is correct. NHGIS and Social Explorer redistribute the published ACS Detailed Tables (i.e., Summary File) data. I don't know of published ACS tables that cross-tabulate poverty ratio by race. In any case, NHGIS doesn't have any. I'd guess that…
