At the moment…

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this user group!

I am currently trying to calculate margin of error on a metric which is an aggregate of variables from ACS base tables, data profile tables, and subject tables. I am hoping to use the Variance…

Dear community,

I am looking for guidance on calculating a percent of a margin or error. My work involves analyzing potential population risk to flooding, where I geospatially overlay block groups with flood zones in ArcGIS. If, for example, a block group…

I am a relatively new user of PUMS data. I use the 2016 1 year estimate PUMS population data, subset it to a dataset include the individual data for a county within the age group of my interest (ffx). Then I need to calculate the population estimate of…

I need some statistical advice. Paging Stas Kolenikov !

When calculating MOEs for derived estimates -- specifically, averages -- should I use the formula for ratio, or proportion?

The two formulas shown in the ACS handbook chapter 8 (pages 64 and 65) are…

I am working on a project in which we wish to calculate population changes over time in different types of neighborhoods. We began by classifying each census tract in the U.S. as urban, suburban, or rural. We next needed to calculate the total population…

Margins of error (MOE) are provided for every American Community Survey (ACS) estimate. In this webinar, we will explain MOEs, and why they are important.  The webinar also will cover how to use MOEs for statistical testing, a demonstration of the statistical…

Hello:

I work for a news organization that wants to write about some of the 5-year ACS demographics, especially poverty and income, for local towns in our area. There are 340 municipalities that we cover. If we look at the main estimates for 2013-17, and…
