I am passing on a question from one of our strategic planners. "Where can I find data on Mode of transportation for work trips by county, travel time to work by county, number of commuters by community/city, and carpool commuter activity by community/city?" If anyone knows where to find this information (state of Utah), please let me know. Thank you!

by Ed Christopher

It looks like -All the ACS 1 year data will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009. -All the ACS 3-year data will be released on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [public-news-alert] CENSUS NEWS: Census Bureau Releases Timetable for 2008 Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Estimates and American Community Survey Data Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:14:34 -0400 From: catherine.l.crusan(a)census.gov To: Census-Bureau-Alert(a)lists.census.gov, Public-News-Alert(a)lists.census.gov U.S. CENSUS BUREAU NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2009 Public Information Office CB09-CN.19 301-763-3030/3762 (fax) e-mail: <pio(a)census.gov> Census Bureau Releases Timetable for 2008 Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Estimates and American Community Survey Data The Census Bureau announced today a new public release schedule for the official income, poverty and health insurance estimates for 2008 from the Current Population Survey (CPS), as well as estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS). National income and poverty data from the CPS will be released the week of Labor Day. This is in response to feedback that releasing the data in late August was not optimal for data users and journalists reporting on the findings. For the ACS, the new timetable provides an opportunity to release the full set of 2008 ACS data at one time on Sept. 22, 2009. The new schedule also permits the release of the 2006-2008 ACS on Oct. 27, 2009, six weeks earlier than last year’s schedule allowed. This release schedule will allow for the production of a series of short ACS economic briefs, analyzing findings on topics such as housing, the labor force, food stamps, occupation and commute to work, in addition to income and poverty. DATA RELEASE SCHEDULE: Income, poverty and health insurance estimates — Current Population Survey — These national estimates will be released Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009. Additional information regarding the time and format of the data release will be included in a separate announcement closer to the release date. As is standard procedure, there will be no embargo of these data. 2008 American Community Survey (ACS) — The U.S. Census Bureau will release data from the 2008 ACS on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009. This release will include all one-year estimates from the 2008 ACS — including ACS income and poverty estimates. In addition to the full complement of social, economic, and housing data, this release will also include estimates on health insurance coverage, marital history, and veterans’ service-connected disability ratings, for the first time. These estimates will be available for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district and all counties, places and metropolitan areas with populations of 65,000 or more. The data will be available on an embargoed basis for media use on Sept. 17, three business days before the release date. 2006-2008 American Community Survey (ACS) — The U.S. Census Bureau will release data from the 2006-2008 ACS on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009. The release will include all three-year estimates from the 2006-2008 ACS. The three-year estimates will be available for all geographic areas with populations of 20,000 or more. The data will be available on an embargoed basis for media use on Oct. 22, three business days before the release date. Embargo Access — The embargoed ACS data will be accessible from the Census Bureau’s media embargo site on the specified date.

RE: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 65, Issue 6

by Lingala, Vishu

Here's the definition of MSA from Census.gov(http://factfinder.census.gov/home/en/epss/glossary_m.html) Vishu. Metropolitan statistical area (MSA) A geographic entity defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget for use by federal statistical agencies, based on the concept of a core area with a large population nucleus, plus adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. Qualification of an MSA requires the presence of a city with 50,000 or more inhabitants, or the presence of an Urbanized Area (UA) and a total population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). The county or counties containing the largest city and surrounding densely settled territory are central counties of the MSA. Additional outlying counties qualify to be included in the MSA by meeting certain other criteria of metropolitan character, such as a specified minimum population density or percentage of the population that is urban. MSAs in New England are defined in terms of minor civil divisions, following rules concerning commuting and population density. Related terms: Consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA), Primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA) -----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: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 12:00 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 65, Issue 6 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..."
