RE: [CTPP] Census Geography Question (Blocks)

by Patty Becker

Appropos of this entire discussion: it sounds to me like these problems, if they are problems, are the consequence of the 2000-09 effort to realign TIGER. That was the major MAF-TIGER upgrade effort of the decade. Presumably the new lines are (a) more accurate, and (b) won't change again.

Re: [CTPP] RE: 2006-2010 ACS data geography

by michael.r.ratcliffe＠census.gov

The 2006-2010 ACS data will use 2010 census geography. However, urban areas will still be those defined based on Census 2000 data (2010 Census urban areas were not available when geographic information was delivered for ACS tabulation). 2010-based PUMAs also were not available (these are being defined now). Metropolitan and micropolitan areas will be those in existence as of December 2009.

A new cheatsheet for AFF2 focusing on detailed means of transportation to work

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - Happy December! The days are so short, I can't wait for the winter solstice to pass. Liang and I have made a new cheatsheet for AFF2 because I got a recent query from someone who was applying for a bicycling grant and needed to provide ACS "bike to work" mode share. Hope this is useful. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

1980 UTPP & 2006-2008 CTPP data

by Nicholas K Tulach

Hi, I apologize if this has been covered before, but i tried searching the archive with no success. Does anyone know if a repository is available with 1980 UTPP? If not, any other ideas for sources of employment data at place of employment aggregated at the place or UZA level from 1980- or 1990-present? I've tried Zip Code Business Patterns and REIS, but neither were fruitful. Finally, are CTPP ACS 2006-2008 available at place/UZA level? Where can i download them from? I can't seem to figure out the AASHTO web tool for accessing raw data. Thanks, nick
