Q:
I have a neighborhood that I define by census tracts. How can I create characteristics for these neighborhoods in SAS
A:
Here’s an example of how you can sum in SAS.
The example has you multiplying size of census tract x pov for each census tract (in the neighborhood).
Sort by neighborhood. Sum these products across all census tracts in the neighborhood. End up with a single sum for a zip code
