Yes. There are data in the ACS. However, the disability definitions and questions have changed since 2000 and in previous additions of the ACS. The latest change occurred in 2008. Because of this the disability data are only available in the 1-year file (at the moment). The new 3-year file should have the disability data (2008-2010). The ACS data are not comparable to the Census 2000 data. On 9/12/2011 8:51 AM, Sulabh Aryal wrote: > > Do we have any disability data which is newer than Census 2000.

Do we have any disability data which is newer than Census 2000. I could not find any in ACS nor in Census 2010.

[CTPP] RE: 2005-2009 ACS data

by Gemignani

Louis, not all tables in the 2005-2009 ACS are available by block group - including the ones in Segments 1-8. To find details on what tables are available by block group, take a look at the 2005-2009 ACS technical documentation at http://www2.census.gov/acs2009_5yr/summaryfile/ACS_2005-2009_SF_Tech_Doc.pdf - the chart starting on page 42 of the pdf will detail the geography for each table. This chart also shows which tables are provided via American Factfinder.

RE: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts

by Gyanesh Lama

To add to Nancy's comment, it is fairly easy to create Household income x HH size variable from ACS PUMS. Variables are NP (number of persons in household) and HINCP(Household income (past 12 months)).

Krishnan, you are correct, B19019 is the only table combining income and household size. I'm not familiar with "IPF" but you could create a tabulation of household ranges by household size using the PUMS file for the ACS. As a side note, Table B19019 is not available in the 5-year ACS. The 5-year has only B19119, Family income by family size. So, you cannot even get table B19019 for places below 20,000 pop.

[CTPP] Tuesday, Oct 11 at 1:00 - 3:00 p.m EASTERN, WEB-Training on American FactFinder 2 conducted by Census Bureau

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - The AFF2 training session is now confirmed. Please use the link below to register for the session. I have reserved 220 spaces. https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/webconference/web_conf_learner_re g.aspx?webconfid=23454 After you register, you will get the meeting URL and the telephone number. Michelle Jiles on the Census Bureau's ACS staff will conduct the training. Michelle previously worked for the Census Bureau's Journey-to-work and Migration Branch, so she is familiar with the CTPP user community. I have asked her to cover examples using both tables from ACS and 2010 Census SF 1. She will mention but not provide training on the ACS system to download files. The Block Group data from ACS is not available via AFF2 but ONLY through the download system. If there is time at the end, she can discuss this more fully, or else, we will arrange for another training session. We will have plenty of time for questions and answers. Ed Christopher will be in charge of the session. Ed will try to record the session, but we can't guarantee success because it is not something we do on a regular basis. I'll ask the webmeeting people for help in advance! Because of the difficulty in scheduling this session, I will not be able to attend.

RE: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts

by Gemignani

Ahhh-Sorry - I checked on AFF and table B19019 is not available there - I forgot that some tables are on the Summary File but not AFF even when it is not a block group table. Very confusing. From now on I'll check the documentation first. :) Nancy Gemignani California State Census Data Center Demographic Research Unit (916) 327-0103 ext 2550 From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Krishnan Viswanathan Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 7:25 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: Re: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts Nancy Thanks for the pointer to the PUMS.
