2013 ACS 1, 3 and 5-Year Data Products Affected by the Same-Sex Married Couples Edit Change
2013 ACS 1, 3 and 5-Year Data Products Affected by the Same-Sex Married Couples Edit Change
Beginning with the 2013 ACS data products, tables reflect edit and processing changes which show same-sex married couples along with all married couples. Six detailed tables (B05009, C05009, B05010, C05010, B23007 and C23007) were affected by this change resulting in components of the table not summing to the total. Variable NOP (nativity of parent) did not include children of same-sex married couples in its calculations. As a result, Detailed Tables B05009, C05009, B05010, and C05010 include children of same-sex married couples in the total family household numbers, but not in the family type tabulations. Row numbers may not sum to totals for these tables. Detailed Tables B23007 and C23007 are detailed husband and wife employment status tables and currently do not account for detailed same-sex married couple employment status. These tables will be addressed to include same-sex married couples in the future.
For more detail on same-sex married couples, see the same-sex user note and the Characteristics of Same-Sex Couple Households table package.
