Abstract:

Last year, we reported on an effort to construct a disclosure control method using partially-synthetic data for American Community Survey (ACS) group quarters. This effort was in anticipation of the first planned release of ACS group quarters public-use microdata samples. As ACS data for 2006 becomes available, we have been able to test our method for the first time on a full-size group quarters sample. We give results of our test, along with discussions of new modeling methods, issues faced in the synthesis workflow, and possibilities for future research.
