Peter,
You can get TIGER/Line shape files from the ESRI website at:
http://www.geographynetwork.com/data/tiger2000/
You can get the Census information either from the American Fact Finder
(http://factfinder.census.gov/)
A procedure to stich the shapefile with the Census 2000 BLOCK level data can
be obtained from:
http://www.trbcensus.com/products/pl2gis.html
Another website with useful links to Census data issues is:
www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/
Thank you!
Nanda

Folks, Can anybody explain to me whether it is possible to get a shapefile
of a county based on 2000 census racial groupings, household by type,
population based on sex and age. l work with the Kent County MPO in Delaware
and our staff is trying to put together a map of our jurisdiction which
basically show the afore-mentioned categories. We are finding it difficult
to make a head way. Any suggestion will be very helpful.
Secondly, Nanda l am trying to get the guidelines on how to determine UA but
the url http://www.mcs.net/~berwyned/census/products/p12gis.html . does not
work. Any idea on how to go about this?
Thanks

You may have recently received a message from Nanda Srinivasan that implied
that the Census Bureau was not interested in your comments with the closing
of the second comment period on the proposed UA criteria. What we asked
Nanda to convey to you was that we are no longer in a position to answer
specific delineation questions or inquiries about specific situations as we
begin our evaluation of the many comments we received. If you still have
comments on the criteria, we are always open to receiving them; we just are
not in a postion to respond.
