    Hi Joe,

    Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas, but your post brings up some questions that might spark ideas. My first thought is this: Would the population controls for 2009 and 2010 data be different in the 2009-2013 PUMS file? Or did they adjust them…

  • RE: Using Stata svyset command with ACS PUMS

    Also, I believe you can get versions of the ACS data off IPUMS that have strata and cluster/PSU variables. It is easier to deal with these -- or at least the commands run faster. I have not compared the standard errors produced one way vs. the other…

  • RE: Defining Hispanic

    Joe Germuska
    Joe Germuska

    It would be a survey completion error if someone checked "No, not of hispanic…

    To get more specific with the data, you'll have to make a tradeoff on another item. Beyond realizing that certain zip codes are not going to have many people of certain races/ethnicities and that some zips are just low populated overall, you're going…

    I was interested in reproducing it using PUMS data for Cambridge, MA…

    I am preparing a report for Arapahoe County using 2015 and 2010 ACS data. In the "units in structure" table for census tracts, I noted a large number of negative numbers for total housing unit change from 2010 to 2015. Census staff found an error note…
