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.
