  • RE: Detailed 2020 Census data on a neighborhood level

    Jonathan Schroeder
    Jonathan Schroeder

    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…

  • RE: Calculating a median

    JamiRae
    JamiRae
    thanks for testing this, Bailey! I found the error and have corrected it in my original post! (see 'CORRECTED BLOCK note)

    Anyway, it was an error in calculating the span of the group. The span changes from $5,000 to $10,000 between the $45,000 to…

  • RE: Beginner seeks advice on PUMS returns: Are R and tidycensus the best route?

    kylewalker
    kylewalker

    Hi Troy!  Thanks for considering tidycensus.  One advantage of going the R / tidycensus route is that Matt and I have built tooling to help with some of the more challenging aspects of working with PUMS data, such as getting replicate weights / calculating…

    Dear Steve

    I'm working on an R function that creates an LEP table for a Place or CSD. The table contains all the languages for the PUMS LANP variable that occur in the PUMA.  180+ potential languages;

    What is the city/town (CSD or Place) I have that…

  • RE: Quasi-experimental design using PUMS data

    David Dorer
    David Dorer

    Doing multiple time points to track the "over time" relationship between broadband access and income is a much harder problem. I would set that aside for now.  Do a "cross-sectional" analysis for a single time point, for example the 2016-2020…

  • RE: apportioning 116th congress data into 118th

    Jonathan Schroeder
    Jonathan Schroeder

    I agree Geocorr is a great resource for this, but I'd strongly recommend against a simple 116th to 118th crosswalk if you can avoid that. Instead, I'd crosswalk from smaller units to 118th CDs... blocks, block groups, tracts, county subdivisions... whatever…

    I am sorry, one more question. Do you know why I have run into the error with SAS: B19113i1(nor B19113i001) is not found in the 2016 data? I checked, it is in the list of vars for 2016. I am not sure what's going on.
    Thank you so much for your help…

  • RE: ZCTA Level Poverty Data, 5-Year Estimates

    Bernie
    Bernie

    Hi. Is it possible that when choosing a different year, you're clicking on the 1-year estimate instead of the 5-year estimate?

    The 1-year estimates don't have ZCTA-level data.

    If this isn't the issue, could you describe in more detail what steps…

    David Dorer

    Dear Tim,

    Great to meet you and thanks for reviewing my first post.

    I did look into the HUD "Point-in-Time" census, which is done in January every year. The reason that I am looking into ACS data is because I would like to get data for cities and towns…

  • Discrepancy in population totals between DP05 and summed tract-level values from B01001 tables?

    Miriam
    Miriam

    I’ve recently identified an unusual discrepancy in city population values between ACS tables and would be grateful for anyone's expertise in examining this issue. I’ve summarized the problem below.

     We are interested in the total population…
