“It Don’t Come Easy”, Ringo Starr

 Period Estimates – not point in time, not easy for people to understand or explain  Different residence rules – not usual place of residence as with decennial; ACS is current residence (living in place for 2 mos)  Smaller sample size than decennial – was 1 in 6 now approx. 1 in 40 – need to check reliability

 5 Year data only data set available for ALL geographies (starting Dec. 2010)  Don’t mix and match single year with multi- year – will not be able to use most current single yr. data when comparing with small areas  Did I mention Margins of Error, Standard Errors, confidence intervals and coefficients of variation?

 Tables B98___ in American FactFinder detailed tables provide the number of initial addresses selected and the final interviews for states and most if not all counties

Maryland Estimate Initial addresses selected136,754 Final number of housing unit interviews 96,236 B UNWEIGHTED HOUSING UNIT SAMPLE - Universe: HOUSING UNITS Data Set: American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates Survey: American Community Survey Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey

Maryland Estimate Initial sample selected9,614 Final number of group quarters person interviews 6,998 B UNWEIGHTED GROUP QUARTERS POPULATION SAMPLE - Universe: POPULATION IN GROUP QUARTERS Data Set: American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates Survey: American Community Survey Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey

Maryland Estimate Total233,819 B UNWEIGHTED SAMPLE COUNT OF THE POPULATION - Universe: TOTAL POPULATION Data Set: American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates Survey: American Community Survey Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey Small samples mean greater possibility for unreliable data need to look at statistics to determine whether to use data

 May want to see if there are additional data sources to verify what the ACS data show  How to treat funding for programs and grants when new data are coming out annually ◦ A locality may be eligible for funding based on criteria one year and not be eligible the next ◦ A discussion needs to take place about how to treat MOEs with regard to eligibility for programs/funds/grants

 Jurisdictions with a poverty rate for persons below 18 yrs of age that is 20% or greater will be eligible for funds relating to programs to provide services to underserved children:  Are only jurisdictions where the “estimate” is 20% or greater eligible or should MOEs be considered  In the past census data were only available every 10 yrs so data for localities did not change – now may qualify one year but not next

 Baltimore – yes Persons <18 below poverty is 27.2% with a MOE of +/- 1.9%  Dorchester - ? Persons <18 below poverty is 18.3% (estimate doesn’t meet requirement, however with MOE of +/- 6.1% the spread is 12.2% %  What happens if a jurisdiction qualifies one year, but not the next; how does one plan for uncertainties relating to funding?

 Sept. 28 th - ACS 2009 single year data for areas over 65,000  Dec. - ACS data aggregated over 5 years for ALL areas including census tracts and block groups  ACS year data will be available for all areas over 20,000 in Jan. 2011

 Areas over 65,000 population will receive 3 different data sets – 1 yr.; 3 yr.; and 5 yr.  ACS should not be used as counts of population (use the Census Bureau estimates) but for “characteristics” of the population  Don’t mix and match data sets – if preparing table/report with geographies of different sizes – use the same data set for all
