Hey All -
I recall someone had distributed an Excel file (from their website?)
with demographics for the US Metro Areas.
I think the file had 1990 & 2000 pop, % change, and journey to work
(alone, carpool, transit) and % change for each. I'm doing a little
research, and wanted to check some figures.
Appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank in advance,

Have you tried the Census Block Equivalency files. The three tables
provide the one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships
between 1990 to 2000 blocks. Not to say that it is easy, I would be
interested in a simple set of instructions to show in a thematic map the
pop changes.

More on printed reports from 1980, for those who do not want to process the ASCII files from the Census Bureau's FTP site.
Thank you to Celia for the information about the Federal Depository Libraries. For 1980 data, ask for the "Social and Economic Characteristics" report from the 1980 Census of Population and Housing. It includes mode to work for counties and places with 2,500+ population.
The 1970 census was the first census that included a question on means of
transportation to work .
"Walked only" was identified separately on that form. The 1980 census was
the first census
that identified "bicycle" separately on the questionnaire.
A publication called "Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses from 1790
to 2000," available
in pdf at http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/ma.html includes facsimiles of
the questionnaires.
The Federal Depository Library Program maintains copies of historical
census publications. To find the

Danielle,
You can get the STF 3 (Summary Tape File 3) files by state from the
following website:
http://ftp2.census.gov/census_1980/d2/
The STF 3 files contain some journey-to-work data by place of residence.
You may have to read the documentation, and write some code to import these
files into a useable format.
Does anyone know of any such website for 1970 data?

Hello,
I am looking for the number of people that bicycled to work from the 1980
(and previous years, '70, '60, if available) Census for Onondaga County in
New York State. I noticed that this site was mentioned recently,
http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/reis/jtw/, but I couldn't find
information on the modes of transportation that people used to get to work.
It would also be helpful to find the numbers for those that walked to work
in 1980, '70,'60 (if available) for Onondaga County, NYS as well.
If anyone knows where I could find this information, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,

CENSUS NEWS BRIEF
Senate Budget Cuts Could Reduce 2004 Test Sites,
Geographic Partnerships, TIGER Updating, Census Bureau Says
Plus: Census Bureau Operating Under Continuing Funding Resolution;
Decennial Census Advisory Committee To Meet Next Week.
The Census Bureau would cancel one of two remaining field test sites in
2004, nearly eliminate its Geographic Partnership Program, and reduce by
more than half its planned workload for realigning geographic features in
the TIGER database, if Congress adopts funding levels proposed by a Senate
committee, the agency warned.
In a statement analyzing the impact of fiscal year 2004 (FY04) funding
levels contained in the Commerce, Justice, and State, The Judiciary and
Related Agencies Appropriations bill (S. 1585), the Bureau said it would
cut $20 million from census redesign activities and $25 million from the
MAF/TIGER Enhancements Program. The proposed $45 million reduction in 2010
census planning funds requested by the Bush Administration would
dramatically and permanently change the reengineering effort,and reduce
hoped-for savings from a redesigned census by over $1.0 billion. The
Senate committee did not specify which 2010 activities the proposed lower
funding level would affect.
The Census Bureau requested $112.1 million in FY04 to design a short-form
only 2010 census. Current plans include a major field test in 2004 in
portions of Queens County, New York, and three rural counties in
Georgia. The funding level proposed by the Senate committee would force it
to cancel the Georgia test site, increasing the risk to coverage and mobile
computing device (MCD) procedures,and to reduce the New York test site by
half, the agency said. The Bureau would eliminate all evaluations in the
New York test except mail out/mail back and non-response follow-up
procedures, including planned tests of foreign language efforts, collection
of race and ethnic data, and group quartersenumeration. The Census Bureau
announced earlier this year that it had scrapped plans for a third test
site in Lake County, Illinois.
The agency also said that it would cancel two of three test sites (France,
Kuwait, and Mexico) for counting private American citizens living abroad,
which would increase the risk of no overseas census in 2010.
The Census Bureau also would stop preparations for testing wider use of
mobile computing devices in fiscal year 2006 and beyond, the statement
warned, leading to less reliance on new technology in the field during the
census. The Bureau hopes that census takers can use hand-held computers to
locate housing units on electronic maps and to collect information from
households without using paper questionnaires. Last month, Associate
Director Preston J. Waite told a meeting of the National Research Councils
Panel on Research on Future Census Methods that hand-held computers (PDAs)
are the centerpiece of savingsin a reengineered census, because they can
reduce the need for paper materials, such as questionnaires, maps, and
payroll forms, and lower associated costs for processing and
storage. These reductions, totaling $1.0 billion in savings, would be
severely limitedif the Census Bureau does not receive the funds it
requested, the agency said in its impact statement.
The Bureau requested $83.3 million to continue updating its electronic
geographic database (TIGER) and address lists (Master Address File, or MAF)
and modernizing the system software. Without these funds, the Bureau
cautioned, it would virtually eliminate the Geographic Partnership Program
with state, local, and Tribal governments and reduce Community Address
Updating System activities, the only source of rural new construction
addressesfor the American Community Survey, by 50 percent. The Bureau also
would cut from 600 to 275 the number of counties that would have misaligned
geographic features fixed in FY04. The uncompleted work would be pushed
back to future years, add[ing] greatly to the riskthat all 3,200 counties
will not be realigned by the Bureaus 2008 deadline.
Congress passes Continuing Funding Resolution: The Senate Appropriations
Committee approved its version of the FY04 Commerce spending bill on
September 4, but the full Senate has yet to take up the measure. Congress
passed a temporary funding bill last week, to keep federal agencies for
which a regular appropriations bill has not been signed into law operating
past the end of fiscal year 2003 on September 30. The so-called Continuing
Resolution, which keeps spending at FY03 levels, runs through October 31.
Congressional sources familiar with the appropriations process say that
House of Representatives and Senate negotiators are likely to meet and
resolve differences between the House-passed version (H.R. 2799) and the
Senate committee version (S. 1585) of the Commerce-Justice-State spending
bill, bypassing Senate consideration of the measure. Traditionally, all
members of the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Commerce,
Justice, State, and The Judiciary serve on the conference
committee. Congress is likely to roll the completed Commerce bill into an
omnibus appropriations measure covering many government agencies, which in
turn might be attached to a supplemental spending bill the President
requested to pay for U.S. operations in Iraq.
The House of Representatives allocated $662 million for the Census Bureau
in FY04, the full amount requested by the Bush Administration.
Decennial Census Advisory Committee to meet next week: The Decennial
Census Advisory Committee will meet on October 9 10 at Census Bureau
headquarters in Suitland, MD. The meeting will run from 9:00 AM 5:00 PM on
October 9, and from 8:30 AM 12:15 PM on October 10, and is open to the public.
The agenda includes general updates from Census Bureau officials;
presentations on the Bureaus Data Stewardship Program, 2010 census
planning, and enumerating Americans abroad; comments by congressional
staff; and working group sessions on small populations, language, data
quality, and race and ethnicity.
The Census Bureaus five Race and Ethnic Advisory Committees (REACs),
representing the African American, American Indian and Alaska Native,
Asian, Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
populations, are meeting this week. Dr. Robert Hill, chair of the Advisory
Committee on the African American Population, will summarize highlights of
the REAC meetings at the DCAC meeting next week.

I, too have noticed the problem with the BEA numbers for 1970 and 1980. I talked with someone at BEA, and they said that the people who had done the analysis were long gone, so no one could really say why they are different. My guess is that the difference relates to allocating some unallocated commute pairs using some method, but I never got a chance to examine the data at great length to determine any trends.

while mentioning this link, in the past i have noticed that the the two data
sources (ctpp and bea) don't exactly match for 1970 and 1980 but i have
never seen an explanation of why. in the chicago region the numbers i
checked are "dead on" for 1990. if anyone has dug into the reasons why
there is a difference in previous years it would benefit all of us to hear.
i am not sure if some of the regions who still have their 70 and 80
(ctpp-like) numbers have notices this.
