The American Community Survey Education Tabulation (ACS-ED) is a custom tabulation of the ACS produced for the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The ACS-ED provides a rich collection of social, economic, demographic, and housing characteristics for school systems, school-age children, and the parents of school-age children. In addition to focusing on school-age children, the ACS-ED provides enrollment iterations for children enrolled in public school. The data profiles include percentages (along with associated margins of error) that allow for comparison of school district-level conditions across the U.S. For more information about the NCES ACS-ED collection, visit the NCES Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program at: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Demographic/ACSAnnotation values are negative value representations of estimates and have values when non-integer information needs to be represented. See the table below for a list of common Estimate/Margin of Error (E/M) values and their corresponding Annotation (EA/MA) values.
-9
An '-9' entry in the estimate and margin of
error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be
displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.
-8
An '-8' means that the estimate is not
applicable or not available.
-6
A '-6' entry in the estimate column indicates
that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were
available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be
calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest
interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
-5
A '-5' entry in the margin of error column
indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling
variability is not appropriate.
-3
A '-3' entry in the margin of error column indicates
that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an
open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.
-2
A '-2' entry in the margin of error column
indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations
were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A
statistical test is not appropriate.
