Quantifying the Impact of Sampling Error in Composite Index Construction
Composite indicators are widely used to assess multifaceted phenomena; however, they rarely account for the uncertainty inherent in input data. This study quantifies the uncertainty of composite index scores by propagating sampling error from input data, providing a foundation for more effective decision-making by reducing maladaptation when data quality is ignored. We analyze how the margin of error (MOE) propagates across different methodologic…
Airborne Lead Exposure and Childhood Cognition
Objectives. To examine whether a previously reported association between airborne lead exposure and children’s cognitive function replicates across a geographically diverse sample of the United States. Methods. Residential addresses of children ( Results. An IQR increase in airborne lead was associated with a 0.74-point lower mean IQ score (b = −0.74; 95% confidence interval = −1.00, −0.48). The association between lead and EF was nonlinear and w…
Patterns of Multidimensional Poverty in the United States
The accurate accounting of where and for whom deprivations occur is fundamental to addressing poverty. In the United States, the official poverty measure considers only a person’s income, although poverty is increasingly understood internationally as a set of multiple, interlinked deprivations. This article introduces a decomposable multidimensional poverty (MDP) measure that addresses these shortcomings by using thirteen American Community Surve…
The Impact of Covariance on American Community Survey Margins of Error
Proximity to sources of airborne lead is associated with reductions in Children's executive function in the first four years of life
Evaluating social vulnerability indicators
A A comparative study of urban occupational structures
This paper compares the occupational structure of cities in Brazil and United States aiming to evaluate the extent to which the economic structure of these urban agglomerations is associated with the different stages of development, specifically when comparing a rich country with a developing one. Using a harmonized occupational database and microdata from the Brazilian 2010 Demographic Census and the U.S. American Community Survey (2008-2012), r…
The centralization index
Spatial Variation in the Quality of American Community Survey Estimates
Social science research, public and private sector decisions, and allocations of federal resources often rely on data from the American Community Survey (ACS). However, this critical data source has high uncertainty in some of its most frequently used estimates. Using 2006–2010 ACS median household income estimates at the census tract scale as a test case, we explore spatial and nonspatial patterns in ACS estimate quality. We find that spatial pa…
