About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Mississippi by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Mississippi. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Mississippi by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Mississippi. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Mississippi.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.

The dataset contains information collected from 122 K-12 public school food service directors in Mississippi, USA, who completed an online survey designed for Mississippi school food service directors. The survey was created using Snap Surveys Desktop software. Information includes school size (number of enrolled students), percent of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch, foods sourced locally (defined as grown or produced in Mississippi), desire to purchase more or start purchasing locally sourced foods, fresh fruit and vegetable purchasing practices, experience purchasing fruits and vegetables from farmers, challenges purchasing from farmers, and interest in other farm to school (F2S) activities. School food service directors' demographic characteristics collected include gender, age, ethnicity/race, marital status, and education level. The data were collected from October 2021 to January 2022 using an online mobile and secure survey management system called Snap Online. The data were collected to obtain updated demographic and school purchasing characteristics from school food service directors in Mississippi and to determine their current abilities, experiences, and desires to engage in F2S activities. The dataset can be used to learn about K-12 public school food service directors in Mississippi but results should not be generalized to all school food service directors in Mississippi or elsewhere in the USA.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains the boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels for school districts from State officials for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Education with estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district. This information serves as the basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to States and school districts. TIGER/Line Shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The school district boundaries are those in effect for the 2022-2023 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2023.

To improve flood-frequency estimates at rural streams in Mississippi, annual exceedance probability (AEP) flows at gaged streams in Mississippi and regional-regression equations, used to estimate annual exceedance probability flows for ungaged streams in Mississippi, were developed by using current geospatial data, additional statistical methods, and annual peak-flow data through the 2013 water year. The regional-regression equations were derived from statistical analyses of peak-flow data, basin characteristics associated with 281 streamgages, the generalized skew from Bulletin 17B (Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data, 1982), and a newly developed study-specific skew for select four-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC4) watersheds in Mississippi. Four flood regions were identified based on residuals from the regional-regression analyses. No analysis was conducted for streams in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain flood region because of a lack of long-term streamflow data and poorly defined basin characteristics. Flood regions containing sites with similar basin and climatic characteristics yielded better regional-regression equations with lower error percentages. The generalized least squares method was used to develop the final regression models for each flood region for annual exceedance probability flows. The peak-flow statistics were estimated by fitting a log-Pearson type III distribution to records of annual peak flows and then applying two additional statistical methods: (1) the expected moments algorithm to help describe uncertainty in annual peak flows and to better represent missing and historical record; and (2) the generalized multiple Grubbs-Beck test to screen out potentially influential low outliers and to better fit the upper end of the peak-flow distribution. Standard errors of prediction of the generalized least-squares models ranged from 28 to 46 percent. Pseudo coefficients of determination of the models ranged from 91 to 96 percent.The Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Flood Region is characterized by low slopes, backwater conditions, interconnecting drainage ditches, levees, indeterminate drainage boundaries, and other factors that make calculations of flood frequency uncertain. In addition, there is a lack of sufficient long-term streamflow record in the MAP; thus, flood-frequency calculations were not produced for this region.
