  • RE: SSI Estimates

    Beth Jarosz
    Beth Jarosz
    My thoughts are not likely to be terribly reassuring...

    People lie (sometimes unwittingly). We spend a great deal of time talking about sampling error, but we often forget to discuss all of the other types of error that affect surveys. There is considerable…

  • 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: 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…

  • 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…

    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: Homeless population and those in transitional housing

    David Dorer
    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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • RE: Detailed group quarters type

    Andrew Beveridge
    Andrew Beveridge

    I would be pretty careful with Group Quarters and their characteristics with DP.  I was working on something in West Feliciana which has Angola Prison, one of the largest if not the largest  maximum security prison in the United States with over 5,000 inmates…
