Comparison of ACS and ASEC Data on Households and Families: 2004
Comparison of ACS and ASEC Data on Households and Families: 2004
Introduction
This report is one in a series that compares data from the American Community Survey (ACS) with data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) to the Current Population Survey (CPS). This report focuses on comparisons of national distributions of household and family characteristics, including household size and composition, relationship, and marital status, between the 2004 ACS and the 2004 ASEC. In this analysis, we compare the 2004 ACS and the 2004 ASEC distributions and look for differences that are both statistically and substantively different, and for those found, offer possible explanations.
