Updated White Non Hispanic and African American HO Rate Data from 3 Year ACS 2013.

Readers may recall prior post HERE that includes a link to an Excel file with 3 year ACS data for White Non Hispanic and African America HO rate data for select Oregon cities and counties for 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Census has just published updated 3 year ACS data for 2013; I have constructed a new version of the  Excel workbook HERE, and embedded below. It includes new worksheets including an easy to use summary table for 2013 that shows side by side comparisons for two geographies chosen by the user.
