I ditto that one and will await a reply to the list from CTTP or appropriate person. We at the Montgomery MPO in Alabama have already made adjustments to Census 2000 TAZ and are ready to send them to TAZ-UP process person for processing so they are concurrent with 2010 Census tabulation and finalization.

I understand we will get the 2010 block data and shape files in 2011: Will the Census Bureau or any federal agency want our revised TAZ files? Has it been determined that ACS data will be tabulated into TAZ's? Does anyone know what process will be used for us to submit our TAZ files if necessary? - another TAZ-UP?

This is good news. Just yesterday I was in a meeting where the question came up. ================== The Census Bureau has released 2009 TIGER/Line Shapefiles today. Available here: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/ This will be the last public release of TIGER data until early 2011. This early 2011 release will include all of the updated 2010 tabulation geography that serves as the geographic framework for 2010 Census data tabulations (including the new 2010 Census tracts, block groups, blocks, voting districts, and much more). Around the same time as this 2011 geospatial data release, Census will be releasing the tabular data with 2010 Census population counts down to the Census block level. See the attached document for more information, including changes under consideration and a request for input. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443 _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records.

Solution for unzipping new 2009 Tiger files: I also have XP but the 64bit version, initially I was getting the error Vinod got. Here are the steps to remedy the problem: 1. Go to the Tiger Link: http://www2.census.gov/cgi-bin/shapefiles2009/county-files?county=12099 2. Click on each file individually without checking the box and it will download and save the file with all of its contents on to machine. 3. Go to Windows Explorer, Right Click your zipped file; and extract all Fin [cid:image001.png@01CA4368.275D0DB0] Nellie D Fernandez Senior Planner PB Metropolitan Planning Organization (PB MPO) 2300 N Jog Road 4th Floor West Palm Beach FL 33411 561-478-5744 nfernand(a)pbcgov.org<mailto:nfernand@pbcgov.org> -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 1:30 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 68, Issue 7 Send ctpp-news mailing list submissions to ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net You can reach the person managing the list at ctpp-news-owner(a)chrispy.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ctpp-news digest..."

Re: [CTPP] With ACS make sure to Read the Small Print

by Nathan Erlbaum

a logical person would then ask why aren't the questions that BLS or CPS uses part of the acs? would this increase the level of confidence and reliability of these data? >>> edc(a)berwyned.com 9/30/2009 7:23 PM >>> Earlier this week I was part of an email chain where it was discovered that with the new 2008 ACS data which was just release there was a national change in workers from 2007 of about 4.8 million for a growth of about 3.4 percent. Of course this seemed odd given the year that we have been through. I further learned that BLS was showing a loss of workers during the same time which prompted me to pass the issue over to Melissa Chiu our CTPP coordinator at the Census Bureau. Here is what Melissa had to say. Hi Ed, I spoke with the subject matter branch chief and it turns out that the Bureau recommends using caution when making labor force comparisons between data from 2008 or later and data from prior years (make sure to look at the footnote at the bottom of the labor force tables). This is because there was a question change starting in 2008 that results in more people responding that they worked last week. The question in use before 2008 missed many marginal workers. Essentially the data are better now and this also puts the ACS data more in line with the Current Population Survey (CPS)-based BLS data. In addition, as far as labor force estimates go, the BLS data are considered the official estimates, and many more questions are asked on the CPS regarding employment than on the ACS. So there may still be differences between CPS and ACS due to this and other issues. There is more information on this question change in the research note: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/laborfor/researchnote092209.html The note references the following 2006 content test report that resulted in the question change: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/AdvMeth/content_test/P6a_Employment_Status.pdf Finally, for other information on labor force data, please start here: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/laborfor/laborforce.html I hope this helps. If you have further questions, please let me know and I will refer you to the appropriate person.
