CES Technical Notes Series from Center for Economic Studies, U.S. Census Bureau

Abstract: The purpose of this technical report is to describe the process used to generate census tract level measures of social capital. Three data sets are available to researchers that result from the process de-scribed. The data sets contain (1) the average probability for each census tract of having a low, medium, and high level of each of eight social capital measures, (2) the parameter estimates used to predict indi-vidual low, medium, and high probabilities that are then aggregated at the census tract level, and (3) the standard errors for the parameter estimates used to predict individual low, medium, and high probabili-ties. What is meant by “social capital†and for more details about the estimation procedure described here, see Hotchkiss, Rupashingha, and Watson (2021); Hotchkiss (2019); and Hotchkiss and Rupasingha (2018).
