Geographic Summary Levels for CTPP 2000?

by Chuck Purvis

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!

census research for $$$

by ed christopher

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. to learn more http://www.brookings.edu/dybdocroot/es/urban/census/callforpapers.htm

Useful Historical Information/Future Issues

by Elizabeth Hartmann

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... Liz Hartmann Research Analysis Specialist MnDOT

SF 3 Table specifications....

by Nanda Srinivasan

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. Attachments: sf3specs.pdf Thank you Nanda Srinivasan

Re: [CTPP] Relatively Simple (I hope) Question

by Chuck Purvis

David: 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 *********************************************** Charles L.
