taz delineation

by Kendra Watkins

Could someone shed some light on how reliable TAZ to TAZ flow comparisons will be between the 2000 CTPP data and the 2006 - 2010 release? I am asking because as I delineate TAZ's I am trying to prioritize my "rules" for delineation and wonder if TAZ continuity will really be useful if the data won't be comparable anyway. Of course we are keeping our smaller travel model zones as consistent as possible, but our Census TAZ's will be in many cases quite a bit larger.

ACS data import tool

by Mike Harmon

Hi Elizabeth I was just looking through the CTPP mailing list and came upon your posting of about having developed an ACS data import tool. I am very interested in this and any other tools you may know of that will help us get all the data we need from the Census to carry out our role as a regional transportation planning agency. We want to establish a comprehensive library about our region that we can draw on in the development of various plans and to answer local agency questions. As it is now, it appears that it is necessary to use the census search tools. Thank you.

Census population density calculations

by Elizabeth Hassett

Hello all, I am finding discrepancies between population densities that I'm calculating in ArcGIS using Census 2010 population data and the TIGER geography shapefiles (in my case for the county and state level), and population density numbers posted on Census websites. The discrepancy is from the square mileage calculation, in particular. Does anyone know if this is because water bodies are subtracted from the total square mileage for the density calculation (or if there is another reason for the discrepancy)? Thank you, Elizabeth Elizabeth Hassett Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council 100 Clinton Square 126 N.
