Hi Elise,
I work for HUD and managed the development of the ACS-based CHAS data. As Bryan said, the CHAS data are perfect for the scenario you described. With standard ACS tables there's no way to eliminate duplicative housing problems. (thanks, Bryan…
We are pleased to announce the first release of documentation in support of the 2018 American Community Survey 1-year estimates scheduled for release on Thursday, September 26, 2019. This documentation offers ACS data users the opportunity to prepare…
hi Jon--
Your posting says their were some big discrepancies or "discontinuities" between 2020 counts versus your expectations coming out of ACS 2019 (or population estimates v2019). Population estimates can be wrong. Decennial census counts can also…
This is all true! Especially when a zip is at the margins of civilization (in the Miami area you'd have vast swaths of Everglades that would suddenly turn into subdivisions) but for my purposes a few years ago it worked well, maybe partly because I was…
This is the general approach I use in Geocorr. You can allocate by area or population, but in practice, I almost never use area.
Here are a couple of tables I just made. One is a list showing (2020) county and (2022) planning region for each block in…
Has anyone compared non-overlapping 5-year estimates from 2006 - 2010 and 2011 - 2015 at the tract level? What has been your experience and how do you feel about the reliability of the results?
I looked at ‘Drove Alone to Work’ comparing ACS tables B08006…
Hi,
If you have a specific zip code in mind, the easiest thing would be to use data.census.gov. The exact table you want is most likely B03002: Hispanic or Latino Origin by Race, which gives you estimates for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, .…
well yeah it does the job but then you find that 500 people are using it as the golden standard written in stone. Production code would check the variable types and ranges and missing values and testthat everything ;).Now that I looked at it again: WKL…
Caution: LTDB uses a simplistic area weighting method to allocate historical tract data to 2010 tracts. For a more accurate alternative, in addition to providing the original 1990 and 2000 census data, NHGIS also provides 1990 and 2000 data for 2010 tracts…
