  • 1.  grandparents responsible for grandchildren data in ACS

    Posted 04-04-2022 03:54 PM

    Hello! I'd like 2016-2020 ACS county-level data for the following indicator:

    grandparents (55 years or older) caring for a disabled adult (19‐59 years)

    I found table B10051, B10050, and B10002, but none of those datasets provide *quite* what I need. Suggestions? Thank you!

    Hi! Because the ACS only has relationship to householder, it may be difficult to find the populations you're interested in (the grandparent may or may not be the householder). You may be able to identify at least some households in this situation using the PUMS files.

    Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I have not before used the PUMS files, so that will be a new dataset for me to try!
