Description: The indirect estimates provided in this service were created using a sophisticated statistical method generally referred to as small area estimation (SAE). SAE is a model-dependent approach that produces indirect estimates for areas where survey data is inadequate for direct estimation. SAE models assume that counties with similar demographics would have similar estimates of skills. An estimate for a county then “borrows strength” across related small areas through auxiliary information to produce reliable indirect estimates for small areas. The models rely on covariates available at the small areas, and PIAAC survey data. In the absence of any other proficiency assessment data for individual states and counties, the estimates provide a general picture of proficiency for all states and counties. In addition to the indirect estimates, this website provides precision estimates and facilitates statistical comparisons among states and counties. For technical details on the SAE approach applied to PIAAC, see section 5 of the State and County Estimation Methodology Report.The U.S. state and county indirect estimates reported on this site are not directly comparable with the direct estimates for PIAAC countries that are reported by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Specifically, the U.S. state and county indirect estimates (1) represent modeled estimates for adults ages 16-74 whereas the OECD’s direct estimates for participating countries represent estimates for adults ages 16-65, (2) include data for “literacy-related nonresponse” (i.e., adults whose English language skills were too low to participate in the study) whereas the OECD’s direct estimates for countries exclude these data, and (3) are based on three combined data collections (2012/2014/2017) whereas OECD’s direct estimates are based on a single data collection.Similarly, the U.S. national indirect estimates reported on this site are not directly comparable with the direct estimates for the U.S. The U.S. national indirect estimates are derived as an aggregation of the U.S. state and county indirect estimates. In addition, the U.S. national indirect estimates include data for “literacy-related nonresponse” (i.e., adults whose English language skills were too low to participate in the study) whereas the U.S. PIAAC direct estimates exclude these data.
