I'm working with a nonprofit that is trying to estimate what percentage of 4-year-olds they are serving in our county by race/ethncity, and I'm looking for the best denominator I can find. (Our county is about 400k people all together.) We need the number…
Hello,
I would like to use R to calculate the standard error of the median income of a population represented in PUMS. I would like to do this using replicate weights, if possible.
I know how to calculate the standard error of an estimate using replicate…
Works fine on my system.That's on Stata 15.1 on Win10I used the key from your second code block, btw, so that's not causing the trouble.Edit: also works if I include a line 'version 14.2' prior to this code, although I'm not 100% sure that would…
We frequently find ourselves calculating a statistic like "the population (with a margin of error) earning less than 2.00X the FPL". These fields are found in the C17002 (C17002_001 to C17 C17002_008) family of tables. (data.census.gov/table
Hello! First time poster, so please be gentle. I'm relatively new to unaggregated Census data, although have a solid knowledge of R, statistics, and (if dated) survey methods.
I have spend a few hours over the long weekend trying to familiarize myself…
Hello - I apologize if this ends up being a relatively basic question, but I am working right now to replicate the methodology used by the Universal Service Administrative Co. (USAC) to estimate the total eligible population for USAC's Lifeline pr…
I thought this was an interesting question, so I wrote a little R code to pull PUMS via tidycensus and create these estimates. If you are not familiar, this is a good walk-through of how to use tidycensus for PUMS data. If you also want standard errors…
I believe S tables are summaries and pull together from a variety. The easiest way for me to find the tables I need is to check out the Appendices in the Summary File documentation that has a full list of the tables. https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys…
Well, if you need any info on how we get our senior data, or formulas for deriving various indicators, just let me know. Much of it comes from ACS or other federal sources, so could easily be used for Mass.
Gwendolyn -
The BEA RPPs are relative costs - how much more or less this state pays than other states. For actual dollar costs, the BEA Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCEs) are probably more appropriate. There is a table: SAPCE3 Personal consumption…
