New report on American Community Survey 2007 data, for San Francisco Bay Area

by Chuck Purvis

Hello CTPPers: The detailed 2007 American Community Survey data for journey-to-work and household characteristics was released by the Census Bureau on September 23, 2008. We completed our first report on the ACS 2007 for our region, on October 2nd. The 30 page report is here: http://www.mtc.ca.gov/maps_and_data/datamart/census/ The most interesting finding is a statistically significant (95% CL) increase in transit commuting, 2006 to 2007, from 315,000 to 336,000. The increase in our regional share of transit commuters (9.5 to 10.0 percent), was not a statistically significant increase (95% CL) (though it was significant at a 90% CL). Commute times are stable, at about 27 minutes per one-way commute. Intra-county commute shares (% living and working in same county) has remained stable between 2000 and 2007, at about 72 percent intra-county commute. We also produce tables on housing affordability, poverty, race, and household vehicle availability, since those are topics of interest to us and our policy board.

WEB TRAINING to Review Census Bureau data access tools for ACS data : Dec 2 and 5

by Murakami, Elaine

This training session will review different ways to access ACS data from the Census Bureau webpage. On December 9, the Census Bureau will release the first 3-year tabulation (2005 through 2007) from the American Community Survey. Data for areas reaching a population threshold of 20,000 will be released. Previous ACS results were limited to areas that reached a population threshold of 65,000, so many more counties and cities will be included in this release. The geographic units in which you are likely to be most interested in are: County, Place (cities and Census-designated Places), and PUMA. Approximately 60% of counties in the U.S. will be included. This training session IS NOT a basic introduction on the American Community Survey. Please review Census Bureau materials on the American Community Survey at : http://www.census.gov/acs/www/SBasics/ The Census Bureau has also released a new series of guidebooks for the ACS called the Compass series. These are available at: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/Compass/handbook_def.html The American FactFinder is very user-friendly, but if you haven't used it before, this short session will make you more comfortable with finding tables, and saving the data to your own computer. The SAME materials will be covered on both days with the same presenters, please attend only one.
