Re: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts

**1. **Krishnan, you are correct, B19019 is the only table combining income and household size. I’m not familiar with “IPF” but you could create a tabulation of household ranges by household size using the PUMS file for the ACS. As a side note, Table B19019 is not available in the 5-year ACS. The 5-year has only B19119, Family income by family size. So, you cannot even get table B19019 for places below 20,000 pop. **** ** ** ** ** *Nancy Gemignani* California State Census Data Center**** Demographic Research Unit**** Department of Finance**** 915 L Street, 8th Floor**** Sacramento, CA 95814**** (916) 327-0103 ext 2550**** ** ** *From:* ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] *On Behalf Of *Krishnan Viswanathan *Sent:* Thursday, September 08, 2011 4:55 PM *To:* ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net *Subject:* [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts**** ** ** This is a two part question:**** 1. AFAIK there is no direct Household income x HH size table available in the ACS. The only thing that is available is Table B19019 (Median HH income x HH Size). Am i correct? And the only way to obtain the desired HH Inc x HH size table is via IPF. If others have a better idea please let me know.**** 2. Has anyone written the R equivalent of the eak_0{n}.sas to read the summary files available here: http://www2.census.gov/acs2005_2009_5yr/summaryfile/UserTools/?
