#WashingtonState. King, Spokane, and Clark saw the highest 12-month count in recorded history. Increase follows lifting pandemic protections in July 2023 (e.g.,
EPRAP & the #Eviction Resolution Pilot Program. https://t.co/0n9CiXZiBE

Stopping continual medicaid will likely exacerbate the #eviction cliff we're starting to see in the data if health costs increase while qualified recipients can't get their paperwork in time. https://t.co/4Ojf6h3bxA

DSS or QSS?

That is the question (answered in this tweet).

Both are introductory books to quantitative methods in the social sciences written by Kosuke Imai @Harvard (alone or with co-authors).

Which one is a better fit for you or for your class?

A quick 🧵...

Side by side comparison of the Area Depravation Index by the folks at UW and the Neighborhood Deprivation Index I created using the sfdep package. My code here: https://t.co/V24CVcyueW

The recent work linking historical redlining to internet speed/price options is so disturbing. As I’ve said before, segregation is a technology that allows you to do something by race efficiently via geography (in this case, offer inferior service). American racism is undefeated.

🎉🎉 The 2021 1-year American Community Survey microdata are out today! 🎉🎉

Use them *right now* in #rstats tidycensus with the `get_pums()` function and the arguments `survey = "acs1"` and `year = 2021`

I'll have full 2021 PUMS support (e.g. variable recoding) up on CRAN soon
