  • RE: Number of households or families with children by age of children and number of workers or employment status

    Matt Herman

    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…

    Old thread but placing here in case others stumble across it like i did. The census has a very good section with several examples of the pitfalls for aggregating MOE. See pg 25 in American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (5-year 2012-2016…

    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…

    Gwendolyn - 

    The BEA RPPs are relative costs - how much more or less this state pays than other states.  For actual dollar costs, the BEA Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCEs) are probably more appropriate. There is a table: SAPCE3 Personal consumption…

    Well, if you need any info on how we get our senior data, or formulas for deriving various indicators, just let me know. Much of it comes from ACS or other federal sources, so could easily be used for Mass.

  • RE: Is the spouse of a grandparent also a grandparent? Why have spouse as it seems like it could be the spouse of the parent (which is also the parent)?

    Question 26 only covers this from the standpoint of the grandparent, so references to the grandchild (which they have) is not based on the relation to the person filling out the form.  A number of fields do not relate directly to the person filling out…
