This 10-pager that I just saw is probably something that should be a
must read for anyone mucking around with the ACS or any of its derived
products like the CTPP data. Besides the disclosure stuff, its got a
good overview of ACS products too. According to a post on the ACS Data
User Group “This report is a response to frequent questions from data
users trying to understand why their data of interest is unavailable. It
replaces a previous data suppression document that pre-dated some of our
most popular products, such as 1-year Supplemental Estimates and 5-year
Comparison Profiles. In addition to describing the release rules, the
report provides data users with suggested strategies for when they
cannot find their data of interest.”

This came across my email today and of course I thought about the CTPP
community.

From the Census Enterprise Dissemination Services and Consumer
Innovation (CEDSCI) Program…
CEDSCI, with the assistance of RTI International, is conducting research
to improve the data dissemination website data.census.gov. Each
participant will receive $40 for participating in the study. (Federal
employees are not eligible to receive the $40.)
We would like to talk with people who meet one or more of the following
criteria:
Have any experience downloading and using datasets data.
Have recent experience in using datasets provided by the U.S.
Census Bureau.
Use data from data.census.gov or other statistical sites (e.g.,
demographic/economic data) for research or decision-making.
If you know anyone who meets ANY of these criteria, we would appreciate
it if you let them know of this research opportunity.
The study session will last approximately 60 minutes and will take place
virtually using Microsoft Teams to video conference with RTI staff. The
study will begin on October 22 and conclude on November 15, 2024. While
current federal employees are allowed to participate in off-duty time,
they are not eligible to receive the incentive payment.
Please have interested participants complete a short questionnaire at
https://research.rm.census.gov/jfe/form/SV_3vGixRNbURopVf8 or contact
Patrick Hsieh at 312-777-5234 or yph(a)rti.org for further information.
Please mention the code Data Website when you call or email. Thank you!
