Details about variables in the most recent American Community Series
Description
In the context of ACS data, a "variable" is a single row of data from
running a query about a specific topic. For example, group B010001 reports population
numbers by sex and age, and group B25063 reports the number of housing units
in different rent brackets. Technically, there are 4 variables for each row:
the estimate, its margin of error, and annotations for each of those. In
practice, we usually just want the estimate..
Usage
