The new sets vary mostly by the geographic units summarized. All were created by extracting selected rows/observations from the master usmcdcprofiles5yr2 dataset, except for the uszctas5yr set. The latter was created by aggregating/allocation census tract level data to ZCTA (ZIP Census Tabulation Area, the Census Bureau's proxy for ZIP codes). Each of these datasets contains about a thousand variables, most of which occur in trios comprised of a count estimates, the corresponding percentage and corresponding MOE (margin of error). Seven of these datasets have been enhanced by merging them with data from the 2010 decennial census (Summary File 1) in order to add the 2010 population counts (and in some cases the 2000 census count as well.) Considerable care was taken to make sure that the geographic identifier variables relevant to each dataset were included and defined. We strongly recommend that you access one of these datasets rather than the usmcdcprofile5yr and usmcdcprofiles5yr2 sets, which are so huge that it can take several minutes for Dexter to query them and because in some cases relevant geocodes are not filled in (e.g. no County value on tract-level summaries). All of the new datasets have been restructured so that all the _moe. (margin of error measures) are stored at the end of the observation. This will make it easier for users wanting to extract estimates and omit the moe variables. The best way to access these datasets is to point uexplore to the acs2010 data directory and then click on the Datasets.html link.

Neither of these units have been updated for 2010 as yet. The application also now allows using the approximate 2000 population as the weighting variable. More ....
