Overview
Will provide: Summary of the major data sources Advantage and limitations of each
Statistics used in: AoA OAA formula allotments State intra-state funding formulas Federal-State-AAA planning and advocacy -
sometimes to good effect
[sorry to restate the obvious]
2
Considerations Statistics always changing – a moving target Statistical resources never perfect, always
with a past date Census disclosure protection procedures
limit access to data when the numbers are small (more on this later)
New possibilities in recent years due to: New statistical sources – ACS replaces the Long
Form New technologies of distribution
Census American FactFinder (AFF) AoA’s AGing Integrated Database (AGID)
3
2010 Decennial Census – 10 Questions OnlyNo “Long Form”
4
2010 Decennial Census
Age, Sex, Race, Ethnicity, Household Composition
Access: Census Bureau American FactFinder (AFF), some data on AGID, possible special tabulation
Available now on AFF (requires some user effort to learn) but may not include all tabulations of interest; geography down to Census Tract level
Rural/urban figures will not be available until early 2013
5
AFF New Version – 2010 Decennial Census
Old version of AFF still used for access to American Community Survey data
6
AFF – Decennial Census Data
7
American Community Survey (ACS)Annual (2009, 2010, …)
Income/Poverty, Disability (limited), Education, Household composition, age, sex, race, ethnicity, and more – based on the 2000 Census Long Form with a few revisions (especially for Disability questions starting in 2008)
Continuous nationwide sample
Accessible via AFF - information on the 60+ is limited
Some state level data on AoA’s AGID system
special tabulation of 2009 disability data to be conducted Soon (should cover almost all PSAs + larger counties)
Very relevant data fields but access limited to larger geo units (disclosure protection), 60+ data limited without a special tabulation
8
American Community Survey (ACS) 5 year – 2005-2009Special Tabulation on Aging
(to be incremented forward annually)
Data is almost the same as for annual ACSException: Due to revision of the Disability questions in 2008, we have to wait for the 2008-2012 5 year dataset for the Disability data for lower level
geo units. Continuous nationwide sample - data for five years of
samples combined for a more powerful sample Available on AFF but information on the 60+ is limited; Switch from Decennial Long Form data requires a
mindset change. Benefit will be annually updated data. Special Tabulation on Aging of the 2005-2009 ACS 5
year data will be released to SUAs/AAAs shortly and will be on AoA’s AGID system Data by State, PSA, County, Place, Census Tract
9
Special Tabulation of the 2005-2009 ACS Five Year Dataset
Age Race and Hispanic or Latino Household Type and Marital Status Grandparents Living with Own Grandchildren Under 18 years Ability to Speak English Citizenship Status and Place of Birth Residence Five Years Earlier (Migration) Educational Attainment Employment Characteristics Veteran Status Disabilities [will be addressed separately] Family Income in Previous Year Income in Previous Year for Individuals Poverty Status in Previous Year Ratio of Income in Previous Year to Poverty Level Social Security Income in Previous Year
10
Annual Population Estimates (2009, …)
Age, Sex, Race, Ethnicity only – age data available for the nation, states (+DC & PR), and counties
Based on last Decennial Census plus administrative records (births, deaths, MVA, and Medicare)
On Census Bureau web site, AGID system, AoA web site
Useful for many annual statistics but not available for PSAs which divide counties
11
Census 2000 Special Tabulation on Aging
Available on the AoA web site
12
2000 Census Special Tabulation on Aging
Income/poverty, disability (not comparable with
2008 ACS and on), education, household composition, age, sex, race, ethnicity, etc.
Large sample taken as part of 2000 Decennial Census
Available on AoA web site (plus CD distributed to SUAs/AAAs in 2004)
Still useful for rural as well as poverty (until 2005-2009 data is released)
13
AGID - AGing Integrated Database – AGIDnet.org
Currently (in addition to AoA program data – SPR etc.):- Census Population Estimates 2000-2009 --State Level --County Level- State level ACS 1 year stats on
poverty & disability- 2010 Decennial state level
Very Soon:- Special Tabulation of 5
