Can anyone point me towards Community Analyst's methodology for calculating ACS estimates for the user-defined geography (drawn polygons or buffer rings from an address)?
I have a guess as to how it should be done, but want to know the methods so I can compare these estimates with estimates generated from another source.

Below is a link to the Community Analyst help that details how data is summed up.

Also another help link that has some additional details on the ACS dataset itself (last section for ACS).
