Warning
Synthetic data can be useful for learning code, but it should not be reported as evidence about the real world. Survey data can support strong journalism when the sampling frame, questionnaire, weighting, field dates, response rate, and uncertainty are available. Prefer authoritative publishers and read the methodology before using either microdata or published estimates.
