Tabulations based on 2007 ACS estimates and more age categories

We have also experimented with adjusting the weights to incorporate more age categories and the 2007 ACS data. This change may possibly make results more accurate, since it splits the youngest age group, possibly better estimatating sometimes differing opinions of young Cuban-Americans born in the U.S. At the same time using more categories for weighting may introduce more fluctuation since weights are based on smaller numbers of respondents.

The tables below were done using these ACS 2007-based weights
