[CTPP] data suppression in ACS 2015 5-year median income data

by Mara Kaminowitz

Hello, I am not sure if this made its way here, it was mentioned in a conversation on the ACS data users forum ( https://acsdatacommunity.prb.org/acs-data-issues/acs-data-for-small-geograp…) that for 2015 the ACS has changed the way it suppresses median income and certain other income tables. Basically if the MOE is higher than the estimate the data will be suppressed. This may cause a change in how much data you can download for these tables, especially at small areas. Of course if the MOE is higher than the estimate, it may have been a good idea to give it a pass in the first place. :) More info at http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/technical-documentation/user-not… -- Mara Kaminowitz, GISP GIS Coordinator .........................................................................

Re: [CTPP] Distance travveled to work

by Kevin Tierney

No. Some users noted a desire for it in the recent CTPP Assessment, but others indicated they get that information from their travel models.

Re: [CTPP] Distance travveled to work

by Graham

What Alex said… The ACS asks about minutes on the way to work. LODES provides the block ID of home and work; I use the GEODIST function in SAS to calculate the “straight line” distance. (There are more cross-country super long distance commutes in LODES than in ACS. So for public presentations, I exclude the OD pairs with distances over 50 miles -- as in example below) [image011] [EMAILLOGO.png] Todd Graham Principal Forecaster | Metropolitan Council | Regional Policy and Research todd.graham(a)metc.state.mn.us P. 651.602.1322 | F. 651.602.1674 390 North Robert Street | St. Paul, MN 55101 | metrocouncil.org/data<http://www.metrocouncil.org/data> [ConWUs][FaceBook_32x32]<http://www.facebook.com/MetropolitanCouncil>[Twitter_32x32]<http://twitter.com/#!/metcouncilnews>[linkedin]<http://www.linkedin.com/in/toddgraham>[Youtube_32x32]<http://www.youtube.com/user/MetropolitanCouncil> [EmailSU] <https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MNORGMETC/subscribers/new?preferenc…> From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Alex Karner Sent: Friday, December 02, 2016 1:21 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: Re: [CTPP] Distance travveled to work ACS has commute time but not distance.
