SSS2008-02
Abstract
A method is outlined for developing guidelines for acceptable use of 1-year estimates rather than 3-year estimates for areas with more than 65,000 total population in the American Community Survey (ACS). The method is based on the coefficients of variation of the estimates. It is applied to estimates from the 2006 ACS and the results are presented.
