    Andrew Beveridge
    Andrew Beveridge

    They have set up a separate GQ Count Review for the 2020.  Apparently some of the GQs were put in nearby wrong blocks.  One of the problems, however, is that Differential Privacy was applied to the Block Groups, so in NY State after the prisoner relocations…

  • RE: Same-Sex Couples Data in ACS 2014-18?

    Beth Jarosz
    Beth Jarosz
    There are not tables (that I can see) that report same-sex married couples directly.
    BUT you could derive an estimate by subtracting two universes:

    Universe for Table B23010 is Married Couple Families

  • RE: DP02_0153E Estimate!!COMPUTERS AND INTERNET USE!!Total households!!With a computer

    You may have already figured this out, but two things are causing your error. First, you need to have the variables contained within quotation marks. That's why it is saying "not found".

    Second, I believe that tract data is only available…

  • RE: Proposed changes to the ACS Summary File format

    Bernie
    Bernie

    One request…

  • RE: Zip Code Population by County

    Glenn Rice
    Glenn Rice

    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…
