CTPP Data access software archived training from March 3

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

The 2006-2008 CTPP data are available on the AASHTO CTPP website. Similar to other ACS 3-year tabulations, these data are restricted to geographic units with Counties and Places with 20,000 population and over. This means that the results are like "swiss cheese," that is, very holey. For example, if you have 6 counties in your planning area, but only 4 counties have population over 20,000, then the results will not include the other 2 counties. The same thing happens when looking at Place (City and Census Designated Place) values. For residence tabulations, you might consider using Census 2000 PUMAs since they have a complete geographic coverage. But, workplace PUMAs are not really PUMAs for this round of CTPP, as the small area workplace allocation is not yet completed. Nonetheless, we hope these data will provide some utility! As a starting point, you may want to examine some residence tables (Part 1) for tables such as means of transportation to work by household income. To use the data, you may want to first look at the on-line tutorials: http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/3yrdas.aspx There is a small tutorial on the CTPP, but you may also want to look at the tutorials on the overall Web Data Server, especially the one on "dimensions". The CTPP software built by Beyond 2020 is a customized version of their Web Data Server. You may want to watch and listen to the session from yesterday (March 3) http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p15478140/ <http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p15478140/> This was the first attempt at a training session on using the software. Penelope Weinberger at AASHTO plans to schedule additional sessions. For additional assistance, please contact Ms. Liang Long, CTPP Technical Support liang.long(a)dot.gov 202-366-6971

2000 vs 2010 Municipal Boundaries

by Delchamps, April

Hi All: I am confused as to whether the 2010 Redistricting data for localities/municipalities is based on 2000 US Census boundaries/limits or new boundaries/limits (i.e. 2010 boundaries/limits). My confusion is partly due to the USAtoday.com census tool. If you look up localities/municipalities on USAtoday.com and at the bottom is a hot link "about this data." In this pop-up, it says the following about population..... Comparisons between 2000 and 2010: For states, counties and localities, boundary changes were not considered. If a city annexed land, for instance, the comparison matches the population in the 2000 boundary with the population in the 2010 boundary. No comparison is made for areas that are substantially new or the product of a merger or consolidation. I understood this to be saying that the 2000 vs. 2010 percent comparison and the 2010 population count is based on the 2000 US Census locality/municipality boundary. Now I am exploring AF2 and I want to ensure I understand what boundary, 2000 or 2010, the population count refers to before doing additional analysis. Can anyone confirm that the Redistricting data just released for 2010 population counts for municipalities/localities is based on 2000 or 2010 municipal/local boundaries? Because of annexations and other issues/changes some boundary changes are now different in multiple municipalities in Montgomery MPO. Thank you for your help.
