Adjusted Census Data

by Chuck Purvis

(This message was posted by Linda Gage of our State Data Center in California to the State Data Center LISTSERV. It may be of interest to the MPOs and State DOTs and others on the CTPP listserv. Chuck Purvis, MTC) The University of California, Los Angeles has created an ftp site for the recently released adjusted 2000 census data for all states at: http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/da/Adjusted/adjust_web.html. The Census Bureau does not support the use of the Adjusted 2000 Census Data. "The numbers were released pursuant to the order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Carter v. Department of Commerce, 307 F.3d 1084. These numbers are not official Census 2000 counts. These numbers are estimates of the population based on a statistical adjustment method, utilizing sampling and modeling, applied to the official Census 2000 figures. These estimates utilized the results of the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.), a sample survey intended to measure net over- and undercounts in the census results. The Census Bureau has determined that the A.C.E. estimates dramatically overstate the level of undercoverage in Census 2000, and that the adjusted Census 2000 data are, therefore, not better than the unadjusted data. Accordingly, the Department of Commerce deems that these estimates should not be used for any purpose that legally requires use of data from the decennial census and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the data for any purpose whatsoever. The Department, including the U.S. Census Bureau, will provide no assistance in the interpretation or use of these numbers."

PUMS status, IRE workshops

by Chuck Purvis

This is an e-mail conversation from the Investigative Reporters and Editors listserv, regarding PUMS delivery dates. This exchange was between Mr Overberg of USA Today and Mr Clemings of the Fresno Bee. Also, the IRE is sponsoring a Census 2000 workshop in Columbia, Missouri on January 11-12 (the weekend before TRB annual meeting). Very interesting agenda! http://www.2000census.org/censuscolumbia.html http://www.2000census.org/ Chuck Purvis, MTC ************************************************************************************************************************** I hear it's been delayed until March, with 5% state files still due "summer 2003." The newest TIGER files contains PUMA/SuperPUMA boundaries: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tigerua/ua_tgr2k.html Also, boundary files for both 1% and 5% PUMS files can be downloaded as shapefiles: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/pu_metadata.html State data centers also should have maps since they helped define their PUMAs and Super PUMAs. And here let me plug the IRE/NICAR Census workshop Jan. 11-12 in Columbia, Missouri, where Steve Doig and I will take intermediate/advanced folks thru, among other things, the mysteries of PUMS and great journalism you can do from it. At the same time, we'll have a separate workshop for beginners -- guaranteed PUMS-free but loaded with basics about how to get started using census data and spreading it across the newsroom. http://www.2000census.org/censuscolumbia.html Paul Overberg USA TODAY -----Original Message----- From: Russell Clemings [mailto:Clemings@cris.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 6:04 PM To: census-l(a)nicar.org Subject: whither PUMS http://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/c2kproducts.html That's the C2K schedule ... it says "December 2002" for the 1% PUMS sample, covering "Super-PUMAs" of 400,000 or more people. Has anyone heard more?
