User Notes
Definitions
For data derived from the ACS, the Community Data Snapshots uses terminology based on the ACS subject definitions.
Margins of Error
The ACS is a sample-based data product. Exercise caution when using data from low-population communities, as the margins
of error are often large compared to the estimates. For more details, please refer to the ACS sample size and data quality
methodology.
Regional Values
Regional values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for the seven counties that compose the CMAP region. These counties
are Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will.
Chicago Community Area (CCA) Values
CCA values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for census tracts and block groups. Data from tracts and block groups
located in multiple CCAs is allocated proportionally based on the block-level distribution of population, households or
housing units (as appropriate) from the most recent Decennial Census.
Median Values
The Census Bureau encourages users to aggregate small levels of geographies into larger areas to estimate median values for
those areas. Median values for the aggregated geographies (CCAs and the CMAP region) are estimated from the grouped
frequency distributions reported in the ACS.
Comparing ACS Data Across Past Community Data Snapshots
When using multiple releases of the CDS, please take care not to compare overlapping ACS 5-year estimates. The Census
Bureau provides specific guidance for when it is appropriate to compare ACS data across time. Please contact CMAP sta at
info@cmap.illinois.gov if you have additional questions.
