3.4 Data: Demographics
The Associated Press ended up looking at more variables than just unemployment, which added a few more selections from the ACS. While they actually looked at even more than the list below, their final analysis involved these tables:
- B23025 for unemployment
- C17002 for people just above the poverty line
- B03002 for racial breakdown (including Hispanic)
- B19013 for median income
- B06009 for educational attainment
We’ll start by just looking at unemployment, but later on we’ll add in more variables from these other tables.
