American Community Survey (ACS)

Variance Replicate Tables Documentation

Variance Replicate Estimate Tables include estimates, margins of error, and 80 variance replicates for selected American Community Survey 5-year Detailed Tables. The tables are intended for advanced users who are adding ACS data within a table or between geographies. Users can calculate margins of error for aggregated data by using the variance replicates. Unlike available approximation formulas, this method results in an exact margin of error by using the covariance term.

To access the tables, please visit the Variance Replicate Tables data page.
