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. :)
