Notes to add to About page

Please add the following text, including hyperlinks and header, to the About page. This should be located under the "Decennial Census" subsection of "The Data" section. (The header should be smaller font than "Decennial Census"):

Detailed Race and Ethnicity

Counts for all detailed race and ethnicity groups shown in NYC PFF represent the number of people who identified with each group, either alone or in combination with another group(s) -- this count represents the maximum number of people who identified with each respective 2020 Census group. Counts are given for both detailed and regional groups, with detailed groups nesting under regional, and both nesting under broad Race/Ethnicity groups following the Census Bureau’s classification methodology. Some responses may have been reclassified by the Census Bureau. All detailed race and ethnicity data are affected by the Census Bureau’s infusion of statistical noise for privacy protection, and thus come with bands of uncertainty. (For more information on the classifications and noise infusion, see the Census Bureau’s Detailed DHC-A technical documentation.)

For all geographies, and for every given detailed race and ethnicity group, the Census Bureau suppressed counts of less than 22. For regional groups, the Census Bureau suppressed counts of less than 94. Consequently, NYC PFF will display such suppressed values as blank.

When geographies are aggregated (such as a grouping of census tracts forming a Neighborhood Tabulation Area, Community District Tabulation Area, or other custom study area) there may be compounded error from both suppression and intentional noise infusion. Further, aggregated counts will not sum to published counts for higher orders of geography, such as boroughs, due to independent application of noise infusion. (Again, see the Census Bureau’s Detailed DHC-A technical documentation for more information.)
