Title: Disconnected Youth (5-year estimate) for Ford County, IL Series ID: B14005DCYACS017053 Source: U.S. Census Bureau Release: Disconnected Youth (Not a Press Release) Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: Percent Date Range: 2009-01-01 to 2022-01-01 Last Updated: 2023-12-07 10:21 AM CST Notes: Disconnected Youth represents the percentage of youth in a county who are between the ages of 16 and 19, who are not enrolled in school and who are unemployed or not in the labor force. (ACS 5 year variables from table DP02) Multiyear estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) are "period" estimates derived from a data sample collected over a period of time as opposed to "point-in-time" estimates such as those from past decennial censuses. ACS 5-year estimate includes data collected over a 60-month period. The date of the data is the end of the 5-year period. For example, a value dated 2014 represents data from 2010 to 2014. However, they do not describe any specific day, month, or year within that time period. Multiyear estimates require some considerations that single-year estimates do not. For example, multiyear estimates released in consecutive years consist mostly of overlapping years and shared data. The 2010-2014 ACS 5-year estimates share sample data from 2011 through 2014 with the 2011-2015 ACS 5-year estimates. Because of this overlap, users should use extreme caution in making comparisons with consecutive years of multiyear estimates. Please see "Section 3: Understanding and Using ACS Single-Year and Multiyear Estimates" on publication page 13 (file page 19) of the 2018 ACS General Handbook for a more thorough clarification. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2018/acs/acs_general_handbook_2018.pdf The data is determined from the following calculation: (B14005_010E + B14005_011E + B14005_014E + B14005_015E + B14005_024E + B14005_025E + B14005_028E + B14005_029E) / B14005_001E DATE VALUE 2009-01-01 4.693140794223827 2010-01-01 5.365853658536586 2011-01-01 4.492939666238768 2012-01-01 4.884667571234735 2013-01-01 5.467625899280575 2014-01-01 8.345323741007196 2015-01-01 11.111111111111110 2016-01-01 10.502283105022830 2017-01-01 10.676691729323307 2018-01-01 11.859443631039532 2019-01-01 9.009009009009010 2020-01-01 11.544715447154472 2021-01-01 8.948863636363637 2022-01-01 14.181286549707602
