Brain Drain - Ranking and Analysis with 2011 ACS 5-year PUMS

Original Article

An analysis of the 2011 5-year ACS education attainment and migration data with the ranking for each US state.

Early this year when I preparing for the article 'Brain Drain - Ranking and Analysis with 2015 ACS data', I was working against time and a lot of arrangement and calculations were handled directly through database and spreadsheets manually without much programming code to ease and reduce the amount of work needed - from automation/development point of view, this is not uncommon that you first explore your process and goals by hand to gain better understanding of what is involved, then establish the automation process given that automation is a costly and inflexible process - once established, making adjustment can, sometimes, mean the rebuild of the whole system.

After I finishing the previously mentioned article, i spent some time writing R interface code in an attempt to reduce the amount of works. However, as found recently, those code does the task well but isn't quite flexible. Any change to the data or requirement could mean major changes. So when I begin to work on the 2011-07 ACS 5-year PUMS dataset, I re-wrote the code few times to, at least, accommodate known and expected data changes and goal variations. This also caused changes to all tasks that now deriving result from the R interface.

So, even though this article presented information in a similar format as the prior mentioned article, it is based on a totally new process. The data is again, presented through Tableau Public at here. Since, from the surface and readers' view, this is simply a data update, please referring to the forementioned article for the general descriptions.

Over here, we will simply present two ranking tables for your convenience. Again, you can refer to forementioned article for explanation.
