Appendix D

Data Quality Filtering Rates, 3-Year Data, 2010-2012

The American Community Survey (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 2010-2012 3-year ACS data.

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