Hi, Cliff
The ACS General Guidebook has one chapter devoted to calculating MOEs for
derived estimates. You may find it helpful. I was trying to locate this
document on line, but didn't see it. Attached is my downloaded version
from a while ago.

I am looking for guidance on how to combine median income values for
several census tracts into a single value and associated margin of error.
I recall seeing something about this topic in an ACS document but cannot
locate the information at this time. Any help would be appreciated.
