Notes: Panel A presents summary statistics of data from the 2016 American Community Survey (ACS). We use county-level ACS data and generate DMA-level measures as the population-weighted average across the counties within each DMA. Panel B presents summary statistics of 2016 data from the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA). We again use county-level SEDA data and generate DMA-level measures as the population-weighted average.
