Need quick information on a Congressional District?
The U.S. Census has a tool called My Congressional District that quickly pulls up demographic, employment, housing, socio-economic, education, and business data and allows users to download it. This data is collected through the American Community Survey and County Business Patterns.
The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) releases estimates every 5 years; they include margins of error for each individual value. However, if adding several values are added together margins of error for the sum must be recalculated. The ACS Statistical Calculator can assist with that.
Don’t worry if you can’t remember how to calculate the margin of error for a sum of values or how to calculate the margin of error for a derived ratio. Katherine Curtis, UWEX Demograp
Just a quick note to say that I appreciate seeing these ‘quizzes’ you send- they are an engaging format for learning, and have sparked a few ideas for framing data relevant to our people’s lives.
Also, looks like you were doing pretty good in ’78!
