Yost Index with 90% confidence intervals

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.<br>In the file yost-tract-2015-2019.csv, the data fields consists of 11-digit geographic ID built from FIPS codes (2 digit state, 3 digit county, 6 digit census tract); Yost index, 90% lower confidence interval; 90% upper confidence interval. Data is provided for 72,793 census tracts for which sufficient data were available. The Yost Index ranges from 1 (lowest socioeconomic position) to 100 (highest socioeconomic position).<br>For those only interested in using the index as we have calculated it, the file yost-tract-2015-2019 is the only file you need. The other 368 files here are provided for anyone who wishes to replicate our results using the R program yost-conf-intervals.R. The program presumes the user is running Windows machine and that all files reside in a folder called C:/yostindex. The R program requires a number of packages, all of which are specified in lines 10-22 of the program.<br>Details of this project are being published in the journal SSM-Population Health in 2022. The citation will be added here once it is available.<br>Additional years of data following this format are planned to be added to this repository in time.<br>
