All:
Has anyone else noticed that the values for counts in the CTPP Part 1 data
always seem to be rounded to multiples of 5 (except for 5 itself, which
usually seems to be 4)?
Also, it seems that the total for a variable rarely is the sum of the other
values for that variable. For example:
- If you add up the individual means of transportation, only coincidentally
will they add up to the total of all means of transportation, using the
Both Sexes fields in Table 1-002
- When you look at the same data in SF 3, the values are close but
different, clearly not rounded to multiples of 5 and definitely adding up
to the expected total (in this case, All Workers)
