Title: Disconnected Youth (5-year estimate) for Amherst County, VA Series ID: B14005DCYACS051009 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 10:17 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 9.990791896869244 2010-01-01 7.964205816554810 2011-01-01 10.475311490539916 2012-01-01 9.148264984227130 2013-01-01 11.365902293120637 2014-01-01 13.342379014020805 2015-01-01 12.210424710424710 2016-01-01 12.139917695473251 2017-01-01 13.001083423618635 2018-01-01 11.021350259665320 2019-01-01 14.358001265022140 2020-01-01 10.189418680600914 2021-01-01 8.540685944855413 2022-01-01 11.138161898965308
