ACS tables, PUMS, gross rent

  • 1.  ACS tables, PUMS, gross rent

    Posted 06-12-2023 11:14 AM

    Hi all

    I want to see if I’m interpreting this correctly.

    This should link to a table of Average of gross rent as a percentage of household income past 12 months, GRPIP

    https://data.census.gov/mdat/#/search?ds=ACSPUMS1Y2021&vv=*GRPIP&cv=HISP(01)&rv=RAC1P&wt=WGTP

    I think this is the ACS 1 year PUMS, vintage 2021, weighting: housing unit weight. HISP on columns, RAC1P on rows, GRPIP values in table cells.

    This table shows race by non-Hispanic.

    The numbers in the column are

    White alone 8

    Black alone 21

    And so on

    Do these numbers mean, for example, that White alone people in New York State pay on average 8 percent of household income on rent, and Black alone people in New York State pay on average 21 percent of household income on rent?

    Thanks

    Gene
