Hello,
A question I get from time to time is, how to calculate/estimate/approximate the median (age/income/home value/monthly rent/etc.) when grouping together a few different census tracts. I want to have a better answer for them than, "do it using PUMS…
Thanks for all the feedback. When I download the files none of them have codes. I am not at the point of using an API or R etc. I just am downloading the data tables and trying to match them up. If you know of any way to add the codes to these downloads…
Note that you cannot currently crosswalk the ACS PUMAs from 2010 to 2020, so you cannot derive these results at the PUMA level. But perhaps there's another way to do this that I'm not aware of...
I would like to use R to calculate the standard error of the median income of a population represented in PUMS. I would like to do this using replicate weights, if possible.
I know how to calculate the standard error of an estimate using replicate…
I'm working with a nonprofit that is trying to estimate what percentage of 4-year-olds they are serving in our county by race/ethncity, and I'm looking for the best denominator I can find. (Our county is about 400k people all together.) We need the number…
Works fine on my system.That's on Stata 15.1 on Win10I used the key from your second code block, btw, so that's not causing the trouble.Edit: also works if I include a line 'version 14.2' prior to this code, although I'm not 100% sure that would…
Hello - I apologize if this ends up being a relatively basic question, but I am working right now to replicate the methodology used by the Universal Service Administrative Co. (USAC) to estimate the total eligible population for USAC's Lifeline pr…
Hello! First time poster, so please be gentle. I'm relatively new to unaggregated Census data, although have a solid knowledge of R, statistics, and (if dated) survey methods.
I have spend a few hours over the long weekend trying to familiarize myself…
I thought this was an interesting question, so I wrote a little R code to pull PUMS via tidycensus and create these estimates. If you are not familiar, this is a good walk-through of how to use tidycensus for PUMS data. If you also want standard errors…
I believe S tables are summaries and pull together from a variety. The easiest way for me to find the tables I need is to check out the Appendices in the Summary File documentation that has a full list of the tables. https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys…
