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

Ahhh-Sorry - I checked on AFF and table B19019 is not available there - I forgot that some tables are on the Summary File but not AFF even when it is not a block group table. Very confusing. From now on I'll check the documentation first. :) Nancy Gemignani California State Census Data Center Demographic Research Unit (916) 327-0103 ext 2550 From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Krishnan Viswanathan Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 7:25 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: Re: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts Nancy Thanks for the pointer to the PUMS. I had overlooked it. BTW there is 5 year B19019 table available and here is a link to the same table data ( http://bit.ly/q3ONvw ) from AZ (just a couple of counties 2005-2009). Apologize for the same font size, i just tried to fit it in one page.

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.

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/? If anyone has, do you mind sharing with me?
