TO: CTPP-News
We received an inquiry about "employment data" by zip code. That leads me to several questions:
1. Will the CTPP 2000 summary levels include ZCTAs? (Zip Code Tabulation Areas), for Parts 1 or 2?
2. Also, as a follow-up, will the CTPP-2000 summary levels include the 5% PUMAs (Public Use Microdata Areas)?
3. And, specifically, what ARE the geographic summary levels that will be released for the CTPP-2000 for parts 1, 2 and 3?
Thanks in advance!

The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy is
soliciting
proposals for papers that rely primarily on Census data to examine
demographic,
social, economic, and policy issues in metropolitan areas. The Census
Bureau will
begin releasing 2000 sample data in the summer of 2002. The Urban Center
is
producing a series of trend reports that will illustrate how urban and
suburban America has changed in the last two decades.
The Urban Center is particularly interested in brief, descriptive
analyses that will
be accessible to urban leaders, practitioners, researchers and the media
on population, income, housing, employment, commuting and other trends
using 2000 Census data and other appropriate years and datasets. Top
priority will be given to proposals that are comparative across
metropolitan areas (top 100), within metropolitan areas and across
components of metro areas (i.e., central cities, suburbs, etc) and those
that emphasize spatial patterns. Selected papers will be published in
the Brookings Urban Center trend series. Proposals for research projects
costing $1,500-$15,000 will be considered.

In 1997, The TRB and the National Research Council published the proceedings from their conference "Decennial Census Data for Transportation Planning: Case Studies and Strategies for 2000." I've been struggling to get a sense of the history and measurement issues for the CTPP and Census in general. It's a gem.
Volume I provides an overview and summary, while Volume 2: Case Studies goes into some of the meaty, detailed research and applications of the data (Will need a really big cup of coffee and a quiet place for that one). Just thought I'd pass this along...

Attached are the SF 3 table specifications in a somewhat more "user friendly" format. The attribute details have been removed from the Census Bureau specs, so you can get a good idea of all the tables without having to go through the whole documentation. If you want the detailed categories for each of the variables, please visit the Census SDC website at:
http://www.sdcbidc.iupui.edu/
Thanks to the Census Bureau State Data Center Website for re-formatting the Population tables. I worked on the housing tables, and deleted the attribute categories.
SF 3 is expected to be released from June - September 2002.

Good questions.
DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE #2 - #4
The data that will be released MARCH - MAY 2002 are the DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES #2, #3, and #4. They will NOT include any place-of-work data. They will only include tables such as general means of transportation to work by county-of-residence and place-of-residence.
I just printed out the DP #2, #3 and #4 pages this morning, to see what we will be getting before the general "SF3" data release this summer. The "table shells" are available on the State Data Centers' web site at:
http://www.sdcbidc.iupui.edu/
see the "other news" section, first bullet, to find links to the demographic profiles "DP 2, 3, 4 for 2000". To me, the DP #2, #3 and #4 are the "Best of SF3" tables - - all that's fit to print on three pages, ONLY for PLACES, COUNTIES, etc., NOT for TRACTS.
SUMMARY FILE #3
In terms of SF3, do NOTexpect any flow data (county-to-county or place-to-place). But SF3 will have tract level data, and it will have certain journey-to-work tables of interest, say, detailed means of transportation, households by detailed auto ownership level. Again, ALL SF3 tables are RESIDENCE GEOGRAPHY-BASED.
Again, table outlines for the SF3 are on the SDC web site (above link).
Yes, the TRB-Census web page is (still) accurate in terms of ANY place-of-work or residence-to-work (flow) data being released in early 2003.
There still, however, may be some "special products" that are released later this year. What I'm hoping for is a December 2002 data on county-to-county TOTAL commuters that the Census Bureau is negotiating/working with the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
I'd also *like* a place-to-place TOTAL commuters in January 2003, but beggars can't be choosers. We will *all* probably have to wait until Spring 2003 for the place-to-place datasets....
cheers,
Chuck Purvis, MTC

Please excuse this somewhat basic question, but I'm trying to figure out the
release date for journey to work data (residence & workplace based) by place
(i.e. New England towns).
The Census 2000 release schedule says "Sample Demographic Profile"
containing commuting to work data will be released March - May 2002. Will
this contain commuting data by place?
Will it be contained in Summary File 3 (June-September 2002)?
or, as the TRB-Census webpage states, October-December 2002 for residence
based and February-April 2003 for workplace based data?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
