    I'm trying to replicate how the ACS calculates their MOEs for Gross Migration and NetMigration from the latest 2013-2017 County-to-County Migration flow data. I followed their guidance/methodology for approximating a MOE for derived estimates but got…

    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…

    Have you seen the statistical testing spreadsheet for ACS data?

    You might be able to use the "Statistical Testing for Two Estimates" sheet, with the regional average in the first column and individual…

    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

    There are not tables (that I can see) that report same-sex married couples directly.

    I'm trying to obtain ACS 1-Year tables from 2005. Specifically, I'm looking for table B03002 (Hispanic or Latino origin by race) for either county subdivisions or places. The Census documentation says tables should be available for places with…

    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".

  • RE: Proposed changes to the ACS Summary File format

    Bernie
    Bernie

    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…
