1 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics Class Overview: Intro to the Pennsylvania State Data Center Decennial Census The American Community Survey Population Estimates Program Extract and download data from American FactFinder

2 The PaSDC Established in 1981 by Executive Order of the Governor We are the Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socio-Economic Statistics Located at Penn State Harrisburg within the Institute of State and Regional Affairs (Church Hall) We are a cost recovery operation PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics

3 The Decennial Census The census is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years. Taken every 10 years since 1790. Mandated by the U.S. Constitution and participation is required by law. Mission: Count everyone once, only once, and in the right place

4 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics Census Data are used to: Distribute Congressional seats to states and determine state legislative boundaries Make decisions at every level of government Distribute $400 billion in federal funds to communities each year

5 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics Census 2010 Census 2010 was short-form ONLY. –Shortest Census questionnaire in modern history. –Takes less than 10 minutes to complete. American Community Survey –Now the premier source for Socio-economic data

6 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics American Community Survey A large, continuous demographic survey –Produces annual and multi-year estimates of the characteristics of the population and housing –Produces characteristics, not a population count –Produces information for small areas including tracts, block groups and population subgroups - updated every year ­ Key component of re- engineered 2010 census

7 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics American Community Survey How Does it Work? The American Community Survey uses moving averages to collect data for small areas: –Continuous surveying, ‘rolled up’ into one-year, three-year or five-year averages (multi-year estimates). –For example: Averages for 2007-2011 include results collected in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. January 1, 2007– December 31, 2011

8 PaSDC: The Commonwealth’s Official Source for Population and Socioeconomic Statistics What is a Survey? A survey uses data gathered from a sample of the target population to represent the rest of the population. Survey-based datasets usually include much more detail.
