Data for vehicle availability by units in structure

by Lee Yuen

We are trying to find a crosstab showing number of vehicle available by units in structure (i.e. single-family unit and multi-family units..etc.). We prefer the data in TAZ, if not census tract will be fine. We find the table S2504 in 2005-2009 ACS listing these subjects, units in structure and vehicles available separately, but not cross tabulated. Any suggestion would be appreciated? The level of detail in PUMA just didn't work for our Travel Demand Model input. Thanks.

More on PUMA delineation (Sept 2011 thru Jan 2012)

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

http://www.census.gov/geo/puma/puma2010.html The Census Bureau just updated their PUMA webpage with LOTS of information, including a link to the State Data Centers. The current plan is that the SDCs will get the PUMA software from the CB (via ftp download) in September, and will have until "early January" to return the files to the Census Bureau Geography Division. The SDCs are encouraged to work with local agencies. They are not required to do so. We hope that State DOTs and MPOs will take the initiative to talk to their SDCs to work on PUMA delineation. As you know PUMAs are now a tabulation geography, particularly important for ACS tabulation. The software is a new module of the MTPS software, so for those of you who just completed TAZ delineation, you will already be familiar with it. By the way, the Census Bureau has received all the files from TAZ participants, and Caliper is completing TAD delineation for some of the areas that delineated TAZs but NOT TADS. TADs will be a nationwide (complete) coverage at the 20,000 population level (with a very very few exceptions). At this point in time, TADs are a "custom geography" for the CTPP program, and not used for standard ACS products. Elaine

If you are interested in CB Urban Areas delineation

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Since some of you have asked me individually, here is a post to "everyone": Mike Ratcliffe from the Census Bureau recently told us: "The CB's Statistical Areas Committee met in June and approved our final criteria. The Federal Register notice has been working its way through all the required reviews at the agency and department level. We are anticipating publication in September. Meanwhile, urban area delineation based on these criteria is underway. We are on track for an announcement of urbanized areas and urban clusters in early 2012." Elaine

Hi, Kaine As other people noted, you can use NHTS 2008 for your purpose. There is a variable called "TRPMILES", which is travel distance in miles. Good luck!
