  • 1.  Higher than expected population numbers

    Posted 05-21-2019 04:41 PM

    It's been a while since I used PUMS. I downloaded a data file and loaded it into SPSS. To check myself, I wanted to check a basic population number. I've weighted by person weight and did a basic sex frequency table, and my numbers are consistently about twice what they should be. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

    I figured it out. My samples included the ACS 1-year AND the ACS 5-year.
