Quality of the #2020Census data -- a session on race and ethnicity coding.
Census follows the OMB 1997 standards, does not set the standards: 2 categories of ethnicity, 5 categories for race (AIAN, Asian, Black/AA, Native American/Pacific Islander, White) + "some other race"

The race and ethnicity questions help understand how people self-identify, so research into these is necessary to understand how the U.S. population evolves (more multiracial, more diverse than measured in the past)
There were some proposals to start offering "Middle Eastern / North African" (MENA), but they did not make it to the #2020Census.
I was asked recently about why the number of replicate weights is the way it is... 80 or 200 or whatever the number might be. Here's my thinking.
The numbers come from different methods, and the different methods in turn have the different requirements.
The replicate variance estimation methods work by omitting some units from the sample, and possibly doubling or tripling (or 1.5-ing) the remaining observations to keep the total population at about the right level.

Hey folks: I wanted to share something @apmresearch just released that I’m very proud of:
Our VOTER PROFILE TOOLS, as part of our broader #RepresentingUS project. (Read: A wealth of data to understand the US electorate in interactive @tableau tools.)

We at @apmresearch released these tools on #IowaCaucus day, but expect that they will be valuable up until the #2020election & beyond—to understand how eligible voters differ—often dramatically—from state to state & in each congressional district.

Already I’ve read numerous #media stories about the #IowaCaucuses & #NewHampshirePrimary saying those states don’t reflect the nation’s #demographics, but the #journalists didn’t include any data as to HOW they differed and to what degree.
