OK, this is a few weeks away from being finished and its in Dev mode and you need to input a field ( B19083_001E ) etc. to make it work, but it should work, I hope? For those who know or have a field name it might help give a quick overview. But for…
The col names in S0201 are different. Usually, they have 3 parts, but in this table, only 2, and the API calls fail. Are there some tables with diff name configurations, or is this just some kind of error? I tried to add a middle part (C01), but that…
I am looking to calculate margin of error for percents calculated using ACS 5-year estimates at the block group level for the variable C17002 (ratio of poverty level to income for the past 6 months).
Does the VRE table for this variable include estimates…
A colleague was recalculating derived variables from the ACS for a research study and is trying to calculate Margin of Error for population density using guidance here: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2018/acs/acs_general_handbook_2018_ch08…
The thing that's most beguiling about this isn't the differences, but that some states have exactly matching numbers. If margins of error were the culprit, I wouldn't really expect any states to have exactly matching numbers. Note that there are a very…
What do you mean by maximize data analysis? Do you mean reduce the margins of error? If so, pooling across multiple weeks is one way to increase sample size and improve reliability of estimates...

For how to compute the MoE (Margin of Error) for a %. Note these formulas are approximate and need some adjustment near 0 or 100 %
