Error in the 2022 American Community Survey Domestic Migration Estimates for Connecticut In 2022, The
Census Bureau released state-to-state migration estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) showing that Connecticut had experienced a net gain of nearly 57,000 domestic migrants since 2021. However, this estimate differed from that of the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program (PEP), which estimated that Connecticut experienced a net loss of about 13,500 domestic migrants in 2022.  Earlier this year, we reached out to the Census Bureau to raise our concern and to ask about the reason for this large discrepancy. Last month, the Census Bureau released an erratum informing the public that they had made a data processing error in the 2022 ACS domestic migration
estimates and that Connecticut data users should not use these migration estimates. Equity in Data Happy Hour! On August 20th, we will be hosting our first CTData Happy

Navigating Immigration and Language Datasets: A Step-by-Step Guide Though our Data Helpline, we often receive questions about accessing data on immigration and languages spoken in Connecticut from organizations who want to better understand their communities and tailor their approaches to outreach and service
provision. While there are a number of Census Bureau surveys that include questions about immigration status, including the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey, they each have different strengths and limitations; finding the right dataset to use can be difficult. In this blog post, we introduce different datasets that include local immigration and language data and discuss how to access them.  Evictions Spotlight on Hartford In conjunction with CTData’s upcoming analysis of eviction disparities statewide, 2024 Hartford Youth Data Fellows analyzed eviction filings data across Hartford
neighborhoods, and brought in additional datasets on housing costs, rental assistance, and physical and mental health to better understand the impact of evictions across the city and within neighborhoods.   Copyright © 2022 CTData Collaborative, All rights reserved.
