We extend our previous work with the Yost Index by adding 90% confidence intervals to the index values. These were calculated using the variance replicate estimates published in association with the American Community Survey of the United States Census Bureau. The data fields consists of 11-digit geographic ID built from FIPS codes (2 digit state, 3 digit county, 6 digit census tract); geographic name; Yost index, 90% lower confidence interval; 90% upper confidence interval. Data is provided for 71,570 census tracts for which a data estimate was available for each of the 7 Yost Index components and for which minimum population thresholds were met. See https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sste.2021.100412 for details. The Yost Index ranges from 1 (lowest socioeconomic position) to 100 (highest socioeconomic position). Additional years of data following this format are planned to be added to this repository by the end of 2021.
