    I absolutely agree with Vincent in validating your processing with the verification files, weighted estimates, and replicate weights. However, Gateway To MAST is spot on with those, and the incomes still come out high. I would be very interested if…

    The only major data release from the 2020 census so far is the Redistricting Data, which includes data for small areas, including tracts, block groups, and blocks. This release doesn't include any data on sex, detailed age groups, or household relationships…
