Notes: Standard errors are shown in parentheses. Summary statistics were calculated using the ChIRDU sampling weights (Thompson 2020) and ACS replication weights (IPUMS USA 2019). The t ratio was calculated as: (ACS – ChIRDU) / √[se (ACS)2 + se (ChIRDU)2].
Excludes respondents who indicated they are currently studying or are graduate assistants.
Estimates are based on the sample of Chinese-born individuals who are not currently students in the five-year ACS sample (2014–2018).
Observations are missing for different characteristics. The number of observations are: Female, 427; Age (across all categories), 422; Married, 428; Educational Attainment (across all categories), 425; Citizen, 425; In United States for <5 Years, 428.
In column 7, an asterisk indicates that the difference between the ChIRDU all-mode estimate and the ACS estimate has a t ratio > 1.96. In mode-specific estimates, an asterisk indicates that a difference between that mode estimate and the ACS estimate has a t ratio > 1.96. Results of t ratio tests for comparisons between mode-specific estimates are discussed in the text.
