Here is something that the California State Data Center shared with the
SDC listserv. I have permission from Nancy to share with CTPP!

Subject: ACS Median Calculator
We thought we would share our article on calculating a median from
aggregated range data and the Excel calculator. This example uses
household income but the concepts could be used for any range data.
The formula for calculating the MOE comes from the ACS PUMS Accuracy
statement which would also be the source for the Design factor which you
should check for your state or any other variable.
