Let's copy the format of this page: https://profiles.ucsur.pitt.edu/about/

Let's do the same they did, have one main section of introductory text explaining what we're doing with the tool. For now, put a place holder--

[Intro text describing purpose and process to be supplied by Cleveland Neighborhood Progress]

Then let's have some smaller sections below. Here are the sections:

Data sources:

U.S. Census: According to the U.S. Constitution, the Census Bureau is mandated to collect population data every 10 years. This census includes detailed data on age, sex, households, families, race, and more. Source: http://www.census.gov/

American Community Survey (ACS): The ACS is an ongoing survey that samples a small percentage of the population on questions regarding family and relationships, income, health insurance, education, employment, and disabilities. The ACS is available for 3 different time periods which are to be selected carefully based on precision and population: 1-year (12 months of collected data) - the smallest sample size, which is less reliable than 3-year or 5-year samples, but contains the most current data. Contains data for areas with populations of 65,000+; 3-year (36 months of collected data) - larger sample size than 1-year data and is more reliable than 1-year, but less reliable than 5-year data. Contains data for areas with populations of 20,000+; * 5-year (60 months of collected data) - the largest sample size and the most reliable data, but the least current. Contains data for all areas (including tract and block group). At the neighborhood and CDC service area geographic levels, the 5-year ACS estimates are used.

Whenever the ACS is used as the data source for an indicator, the Margin of Error and Coefficient of Variation are also calculated to aid in understanding the reliability of the estimates.

Margin of Error (MOE): The MOE, reported along with an estimate, means that one can be 90 percent confident that the true value is the estimated value, plus or minus the MOE. More information here.

Coefficient of Variation (CV): a measure of reliability of the ACS estimate. The Census provides the following guidelines for determining the reliability of the estimate:

Coefficient of Variance <15% - Good
Coefficient of Variance >15% and < 61% - Fair
Coefficient of Variance >= 61% - Poor

Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD): The LEHD program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. The LEHD program produces new, cost effective, public-use information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership.
