Don, I think the file is laid out in the exact same way as the PL-94-171 files. The software they are talking about is probably "allocate" and may be found on the PL-94-171 disk, so you can order one from the Census Bureau State Data Ce nter closest to you. The other way to do this is to follow my procedure posted a while ago on PL fi les. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/pl2gis.htm Thanks Nanda Srinivasan >>> elizabeth.hartmann(a)dot.state.mn.us 01/08/03 11:09AM >>> Here's a possibility: Fromust a quick look at the file(s) structure, what you get when the files a re unzipped is something very similar to the SF1, 100% counts (someone please correct me if I'm off-the-wall, here). Way back when the Redistricting files w ere released, someone on this listserve was kind enough to share his (very use r-friendly) SAS program. That program can be altered for SF1, and with cut-and -paste, and a little tweaking, I believe the same program can be used for the adjusted counts. Haven't tried it yet, though. Good luck! Liz Hartmann Research Analysis Specialist Minnesota Department of Transportation Office of Investment Management >>> "Vest, Don" <dvest(a)ci.pueblo.co.us> 01/07/03 06:51PM >>> Pardon my ignorance, but perhaps someone would be kind enough to suggest how I might be able to at least view the data from the unzipped files. The technical documentation referrs to a simple software program on the CD-ROM disk which allows the data to be viewed--similar to what FactFinder does. Thanks.

2000 adjusted numbers online

by ed christopher

From: "Census2000" <census2000(a)ccmc.org> For Immediate Release Monday, January 6, 2003 For More Information Contact: Phil Sparks (202) 326-8700 "Adjusted Census 2000 Numbers Now Available" WASHINGTON-- The Census 2000 Initiative announced today that the University of California at Los Angeles has now posted the recently released adjusted Census 2000 population numbers on their Web site so that they may be available to the public and the policymakers. The link contains statistically adjusted Census 2000 population data at the block level for the entire country, pursuant to an order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Carter v. U.S. Department of Commerce, 307 F.3d 1084. The data are adjusted based on the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.) survey conducted during Census 2000. The A.C.E. survey was designed to measure net undercounts (e.g. people missed) and overcounts (e.g. people counted twice) in the census. Last month, the U.S. Ninth Circuit ruled unanimously in a case brought by two Oregon state legislators, and supported by numerous state and local groups that the Census 2000 adjusted data are not shielded from release by "pre-decisional" and "deliberative process" exemptions under the federal Freedom of Information Act. "The City of Los Angeles has been fighting since 1988 for the federal government to release and use adjusted Census data to provide the most accurate basis for redistricting and the distribution of federal funds. At long last, we are now able to access this corrected Census data and understand the full dimensions of the undercount, its impact on California and the implications of the Bush Administration willfully ignoring the disproportionate undercount of Latinos, African-Americans, and other minority groups. The corrected data demonstrate that undercounting minority communities remains a serious problem that has not been resolved by the Census Bureau. We are proud to have played a role in forcing the release of this data", said Rocky Delgadillo, Los Angeles City Attorney. The U.S. Census Bureau data is posted on the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) FTP site http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/da/Adjusted/adjust_web.html . ------ Ed Christopher Metropolitan Activities Midwest Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-283-3501 (F)

We will have a web-based registration page in the next few days, and we encourage you to RSVP so we can make our necessary arrangements for seating, handouts & refreshments.WE ENCOURAGE OUT-OF-REGION PARTICIPANTS TO SIGN UP!
