FYI--Besides the 2009 Tiger Files it looks like we will have the new
2010 Files before the 2010 Block population counts come out in around
March of 2011. 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.

Dear CTPP data community --
You may be interested in reviewing the Census Bureau's foray into e-learning.
I haven't had time to check it out, but we (the CTPP group) are hoping that they have done a good job at explaining margins of error and statistical significance, so that we don't have to cover similar concepts in our CTPP e-learning!
If you have a chance to look at the CB's material, please let the CTPP listserv know what you think about it!

Hello All
Apologies for cross-posting. Cambridge Systematics, Inc. (CS) is working on
a NCHRP task to improve employment data for transportation planning. The
purpose of the task is to understand and describe both the Quarterly Census
of Employment and Wages (QCEW) [or ES-202] and the Longitudinal Employer
Household Dynamics (LEHD) data in a manner that enhances their utility and
accessibility to transportation planning agencies. More details about the
project can be found here:
http://144.171.11.40/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=2823
So where do you come in? I am interested in talking to MPOs and DOTs who are
* very confident* about the quality of their employment data and have
enhanced their employment data (assuming that the QCEW data is their main
source) through either primary data collection/verification or via other
secondary sources such as Dun & Bradstreet or InfoUSA (to name a few) or a
combination of the two. If you are willing to share your employment data, CS
will compare your employment data to the QCEW data by NAICS industry
categories and will document the findings. BLS is also interested in making
the QCEW data useful to more groups so if you agree, the results of our
analysis will be shared with BLS so that any lessons learnt from MPOs and
DOTs can be used to improve the quality of the QCEW data. Hopefully we can
have a positive feedback cycle that benefits all parties and gets us better
data.
Please get in touch with me offline (contact details below) so as to avoid
cluttering this mailing list. If there is interest i will share the findings
with this list (after getting all the appropriate permissions to share).
Thanks in Advance.
Sincerely,
Krishnan
