[CTPP] Webinar on Mapping Reliability with ACS Data

by Ed Christopher

This may be of interest to those on this list. [Population Reference Bureau] Update from American Community Survey Data Users Group <http://acsdatacommunity.prb.org/> *Webinar: Mapping Reliability with ACS Data* Join us for a webinar on Mar 08, 2018 from 2:00-3:00 PM EST. *Register now!* https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/261934844984463873 The American Community Survey (ACS) provides data users with unique insights into the socioeconomic characteristics of local populations. Mapping the data is one way to examine differences in characteristics across geographic areas. However, ACS estimates are subject to sampling variability, so reality on the ground may differ from survey results. In this webinar, *Joel Alvarez* and *Joe Salvo* (both with the Population Division, NYC Department of City Planning) will provide guidance in mapping ACS data. They will also demonstrate how to produce statistically reliable maps, using their publicly available Map Reliability Calculator. Their presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. This webinar will be recorded for those who are unable to participate in the live event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
