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. :)

Apologies for cross-posting.
The 2016 NHTS is underway and if you are interested in hearing about the
data collection effort, plans for the future along with understanding what
is takes to do large scale data collection and analyze the data for
transportation, health, and energy, the NHTS task force meetings, sessions,
and workshops are the place to be.

Hello,
Is there a table in ACS or CTPP that gives the distance traveled to work?
I know it's in LEHD but I'd like to pin down another source.

Not sure if anyone might find this interesting or valuable, but I'm sharing
in case. I created a Tableau dashboard that incorporates ACS data relevant
to commuting. You can look at methods of commuting as well as vehicle
availability by state or county. Any feedback welcome. Here's the link:
