To possibly answer my own question and ask a new one: Could I use formula (9) to do this?
Calculating Measures of Error for the Product of Two Estimates
Since dividing x / y is the same as the product x * 1/y, could this work?
EDIT: trying this out.…
Hello: I work for a news organization that wants to write about some of the 5-year ACS demographics, especially poverty and income, for local towns in our area. There are 340 municipalities that we cover. If we look at the main estimates for 2013-17, and…
Hi all - I'm trying to determine countries of origin for international migrants to my state in 2022. Is there a pre-made ACS table that I could find in the data explorer that would show this? I haven't been able to find one, but thought I'd post here…
Do you have any recommended practices for rounding and significant digits you could share?
For regional planning, we often have report 1-year ACS values that have a fair amount of uncertainty. Here's an example of this type of reporting: https://www…
When calculating derived MOEs for proportions, what is the protocol for when the values inside the square root equal 0? In the examples I’ve found, this is most likely to happen when the numerator and denominator are close to zero and have relatively…
Working with 2016 ACS PUMS data. Can anyone share how to get the standard error for a median using SAS? For example, if one was looking for the median of gross rent, it's easy enough to multiply grntp by adjhsg and find the median, but how do you calculate…
The 1-year estimates are published only for areas with at least 65,000 residents, which excludes most counties (though the included counties, with their larger populations, include a significant majority of the US population).Even for larger areas, the…
Yes, exactly. The ACS collects data all over the place every year, including in small-population counties. It's a complete nationwide sample. Over the course of 5 years, this adds up to a large enough sample to report estimates even for areas with small…
