Appendix C

Data Quality Filtering Rates, 1-Year ACS Data, 2012

The ACS data quality filtering process identifies data products with the highest concentration of estimates that have low precision and prevents their publication: see discussion in Chapter 5. This appendix shows the filtering rates for the 2012 1-year ACS data.

Table C-1 shows filtering rates by population for noniterated tables.
Table C-2 shows filtering rates by population for iterated tables.
Table C-3 shows filtering rates by estimate type.
Table C-4 shows filtering rates by collapsing type and estimate type.
Table C-5 shows filtering rates by state and estimate type.
Table C-6 shows filtering rates by iteration group for iterated count tables.
Table C-7 shows filtering rates by topic.
Table C-8 shows an alternate (to Table C-5) for filtering rates by state and estimate type.
