I would say it is wiser to draw a conclusion using the census household size data, since the headline statistic of household income is also sourced from the census. Why compare apples and oranges when you have apples and apples?
- SubiculumCode 6y agoWell the inferences would only be as good as the sampling then. I know for me, the census was the last thing that was on my mind, and it was only completed it because my spouse was did it. There has been many issues with Census data collection (take a google news search).
- jeffbee 6y agoThis data is from the Current Population Survey where they select households and then either visit or call on the phone. It's not a thing where they just mail out the survey. The CPS also repeatedly selects the same household in consecutive surveys, which gives them continuity that other surveys lack.
