CVAP data for Pennsylvania was retrieved with a python script from the Census. The data is available nationally for the County. To extract the data for Pennsylvania the national data was grouped by state and then extracted to a new file for each state. The data was pivoted from narrow to wide data based on GEOIDs so that one row is one County, and each field represents either an estimate or margin of error for a particular racial/ethnic category. The fields were renamed to fit character length requirements. The CSV was zipped into a folder with supporting files, ACS documentation, and this README. Processing was primarily completed using the pandas library. To improve the usefulness of the data, we have modified three categories to correspond with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) racial categories. The "Alone" categories for American Indian or Alaska Native (fields with "AIA"), Asian (fields with "ASN"), and Black or African American (fields with "BLK") represent an encompassing racial category that is inclusive of all categories that include that race. For example, CVAP_AIA19 would be the sum of the original "Alone" CVAP_AIA19, CVAP_AIB19, and CVAP_AIW19. For CVAP_BLK19, the field would be the sum of the original CVAP_BLK19, CVAP_AIB19, and CVAP_BLW19. For CVAP_ASN19, the field would be the sum of the original CVAP_ASN19 and CVAP_ASW19 These fields are also noted in the description as being "Alone or In Combination". No other estimate categories were modified. For the estimates that were modified to fit OMB racial/ethnic categories, we also modified the Margins of Error as well. To create the new MOEs for the derived estimates, we summed the square root of each MOE for the necessary fields. The fields that are represented with these modified MOEs correspond to the modified racial categories described above. They are rounded to the nearest integer. For more information on OMB racial categories, please see this link: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/omb/bulletins_b00-02/#n_1_ All of the racial estimates provided are Non-Hispanic. Breakdowns for Hispanic/Non-Hispanic by race are not provided in the CVAP special tabulation. Null values or empty cells in the CSV file retrieved from the Census are assigned the value -999999. ##Additional Notes For more information on the ACS CVAP documentation please refer to the ACS link above in Sources as well as the ACS technical documentation included in this folder (also available at this link: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/rdo/technical-documentation/special-tabulation/CVAP_2015-2019_ACS_documentation.pdf ).
