ACS variable names for ADI and ADI-3 calculation

Description

A dataset of the ACS variable names used to calculate the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Berg Indices (ADI-3).

Usage

acs_vars

Format

A tibble with 139 rows and 10 variables:

• variable: ACS variable name.

• description: Brief description of the data the variable contains.

• set1: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 using the 1- or 3-year estimates from 2011 and later or when using the 5-year estimates from 2012 or later, with the exception of requesting block-group-level data from 2015 or 2016.

• set2: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 at the block group level using the 2015 or 2016 estimates.

• set3: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI using the 2011 5-year estimates.

• set4: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 using the 2010 1- or 3-year estimates.

• set5: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 using the 2010 5-year estimates.

• set6: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 using the 2008 or 2009 1-year estimates.

• set7: Logical, indicating the variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 estimates not previously mentioned, including the 2009 5-year estimates.

• dec2010: Logical, indicating the ACS variables to be used when calculating ADI and ADI-3 estimates using 2010 or 2020 decennial census data.

  Note that not all year/estimate combinations are currently supported by the census API and/or tidycensus, and some may never be supported.
