Hey David:
Interesting question! There are a few different techniques you could try -- one would be some sort of linear-based forecast model to predict total population (from pop estimates) and ACS-derived proportions using single-year data (for city…
Geocorr works by reducing both source and target geographies into collections of blocks -- the "atoms", if you will. We know the population of every block. So we can take all the blocks that are in ZCTA 21771 (say) and add up the populations of all those…

Greetings! How to read the data from Table DP05 of the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates into SAS? When I deleted the second row on variable definition and read it into SAS, errors came (copied below). When I read all lines starting…

I'm reading through the PDF "Understanding and Using American Community Survey Data - What State and Local Government Users Need to Know" and need help recreating the calculation for the median salary in Case Study #1 as shown in Figure 3.8…
As a longtime ACS Summary File user, this is a huge, and welcome change. Perhaps the best improvement is having column headers in the data files. This not only reduces the complexity in using the files, but it lessens the possibility of errors.One request…
