1Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

2Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

3Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

4Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

6Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)

7Geographic Area:
"There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the edit loosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the American Community Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher Social Security aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2010. The 2010 Census occupation codes were updated in accordance with the 2010 revision of the SOC. To allow for the creation of 2006-2010 and 2008-2010 tables, occupation data in the multiyear files (2006-2010 and 2008-2010) were recoded to 2010 Census occupation codes. We recommend using caution when comparing data coded using 2010 Census occupation codes with data coded using previous Census occupation codes. For more information on the Census occupation code changes, please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-Year estimates
City of Seattle, Department of Planning and Development (DPD)On the Web at: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Research/Population_Demographics/Overview/
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2010, the 2010 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns. For 2006 to 2009, the Population Estimates Program provides intercensal estimates of the population for the nation, states, and counties.
Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
While the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available."
Census Bureau notes for DP03:
Notes:
Source:
Produced by:
This is one of four reports that have been adapted from the ACS "Data Profile" (DP) Series. The four DP tables published by the Census Bureau are: DP02 Selected Social Characteristics; DP03 Selected Economic Characteristics; DP04 Selected Housing Characteristics; DP05 Demographic and Housing Estimates.
DPD has adapted these DP tables for reporting ACS estimates for locally-defined geographies. The locally defined areas covered in these reports are made up of multiple census tracts (except for a few Community Reporting Areas that are made up of only one Census Tract each), therefore estimates shown for these geographies are based on aggregating estimates for multiple census tracts. For ease of calculation, medians are the average of the medians.
¹The ACS is a sample survey and as such, estimates carry sampling error. Margins of error (MOEs) provide a measure of sampling error
The MOEs displayed for the aggregated estimates in these reports could only be approximated using the formulas provided by the Census Bureau. These formulas do not account for “covariance” (or inter-relationship) between the aggregated estimates, and can understate or—more commonly—overstate the margins of error. In some cases, actual MOEs may be much different than approximated. MOEs of +/- 0.1 and below are displayed as +/- 0.1 based on Census Bureau convention.
² The reliability indicator of High, Moderate, or Low is meant to provide a general sense of an estimate's reliability. Data users will need to use discretion in identifying the level of reliability appropriate for their purposes.
“High” reliability: MOE is less than or equal to 20% of the estimate. Indicates that sampling error is small relative to the size of the estimate. Flagged green."Moderate” reliability: MOE is between 20% and 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged yellow to indicate that the estimate should be used with caution."Low” reliability: MOE is over 66.7% of the estimate. Flagged red to warn that sampling error is large relative to the estimate and that the estimate is very unreliable."NC": Estimate is 0. Reliability cannot be calculated.
Percent Margin of Error "W" value indicates the standard formula for estimating the percent MOE could not be applied (due to negative value under square root).
For more about MOEs, see Census Bureau notes below. For formulas, see “American Community Survey Multiyear Accuracy of the Data (3-year 2008-2010 and 5-year 2006-2010),” http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/data_documentation/Accuracy/MultiyearACSAccuracyofData2010.pdf.)
