2005-2009 ACS data

by Louis Pino

Hello, I am trying to download 5-year block group data from the 2005-2009 ACS for Colorado. I have noticed many of the text sequence files are empty. It looks like the first eight tables are all empty. Specifically, I am trying to get block group data for sequence number 1 (e20095co0001000.txt). I looked at other states and these files are also empty. Am I looking in the wrong directory for block group data for these tables? Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [CTPP] ACS Household Income by Household size and R Scripts

by Gyanesh Lama

To add to Nancy's comment, it is fairly easy to create Household income x HH size variable from ACS PUMS. Variables are NP (number of persons in household) and HINCP(Household income (past 12 months)). Gyanesh Lama East-West Gateway Council of Governments Department of Research One Memorial Drive, Ste. 1600 St. Louis, MO 63102 >>> "Gemignani, Nancy" <Nancy.Gemignani(a)dof.ca.gov> 09/08/2011 7:44 PM >>> 1. Krishnan, you are correct, B19019 is the only table combining income and household size. I'm not familiar with "IPF" but you could create a tabulation of household ranges by household size using the PUMS file for the ACS. As a side note, Table B19019 is not available in the 5-year ACS. The 5-year has only B19119, Family income by family size. So, you cannot even get table B19019 for places below 20,000 pop.

AFAIK there is no direct Household income x HH size table available in the ACS. The only thing that is available is Table B19019 (Median HH income x HH Size). Am i correct? And the only way to obtain the desired HH Inc x HH size table is via IPF. If others have a better idea please let me know. 2. Has anyone written the R equivalent of the eak_0{n}.sas to read the summary files available here: http://www2.census.gov/acs2005_2009_5yr/summaryfile/UserTools/? If anyone has, do you mind sharing with me? TIA, Krishnan -- Krishnan Viswanathan 1101 High Meadow Dr Tallahassee FL 32311

Tuesday, Oct 11 at 1:00 - 3:00 p.m EASTERN, WEB-Training on American FactFinder 2 conducted by Census Bureau

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - The AFF2 training session is now confirmed. Please use the link below to register for the session. I have reserved 220 spaces. https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/webconference/web_conf_learner_re g.aspx?webconfid=23454 After you register, you will get the meeting URL and the telephone number. Michelle Jiles on the Census Bureau's ACS staff will conduct the training. Michelle previously worked for the Census Bureau's Journey-to-work and Migration Branch, so she is familiar with the CTPP user community. I have asked her to cover examples using both tables from ACS and 2010 Census SF 1. She will mention but not provide training on the ACS system to download files. The Block Group data from ACS is not available via AFF2 but ONLY through the download system. If there is time at the end, she can discuss this more fully, or else, we will arrange for another training session. We will have plenty of time for questions and answers. Ed Christopher will be in charge of the session. Ed will try to record the session, but we can't guarantee success because it is not something we do on a regular basis. I'll ask the webmeeting people for help in advance! Because of the difficulty in scheduling this session, I will not be able to attend.

new CTPP Status Report available

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

A new report (labeled as August) is now posted on the FHWA webpage in both HTML and pdf formats. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/status_report/ This issue includes a brief article (by me) about Summary File 1 and different ways to access the data. Thank you to all the CTPP listserv members who have helped others learn about alternative sites to access the 2010 Census results. We will have a training session on American FactFinder 2 to be conducted by Census Bureau staff in early October. I hope to have more information by tomorrow! We were told today that "there is no going back" to the legacy AFF for the new round of ACS data, with weights incorporating 2010 Census results . Also, the 2010 decennial census Summary File 1 is on AFF2. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

New SF1 report applications from MCDC

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

This new report generator from the Missouri Census Data Center that uses the Summary File 1 was shared with the State Data Center (SDC) network today, and Nathan Erlbaum of NYSDOT is sharing with you via me. From: sdc_mlist-bounces(a)lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:sdc_mlist-bounces@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Blodgett, John G. Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 10:11 AM To: sdc_mlist(a)lists.berkeley.edu; 'CENSUS-L(a)LISTS.IRE.ORG'; 'mcdc-l(a)soslistserv.sos.mo.gov' Subject: New SF1 report applications from MCDC The Missouri Census Data Center announces two new report modules for displaying data from the 2010 Summary File 1 data sets. These modules are similar to ones we have developed for the American Community Survey and 2000 census Summary File 3 data. You access both of the applications using a shared front-end menu app that lets you choose up to 4 geographic areas. The URL is http://mcdc1.missouri.edu/sf1_2010/sf1_2010_menu.html (there is a link to it at the top of the Quick Links navigation box which appears at the upper-right of most page on the mcdc web site.) This works almost identically to the menu front end for the ACS profiles. You select your geography and hit the "Generate Report" button. This produces the profile report with columns of data for each of the chosen geographic areas. At the top of the report page is a link to "SF1 Detailed Tables Menu". The geography selected is passed through; you now get to select your detailed tables before hitting the "Generate Report" button to view a report where each selected table is displayed for each selected geographic area. As with our other profile report products this one provides links to dynamically generated charts associated with the tables and has "drill-down" links that let you view the detailed table from the profile items were derived. See the MCDC home page ( http://mcdc.missouri.edu/ ) for more details and pictures with arrows. The first line of the first picture is taken from a sample profile report and says Note: Use this application with caution, it's still in beta mode.

requesting CTPP on-site training

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Of course, the travel budget for conducting on-site training is limited, but the first thing to do is ASK. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Please send your training requests to Penelope Weinberger at AASHTO pweinberger(a)aashto.org She is coordinating the requests. The 3 people who are doing the training are: Penelope, Ed Christopher from FHWA Resource Center, and Liang Long from Cambridge Systematics. For a 1.5 day workshop, or even a 1 day workshop, it is best to have 2 people as the trainers. If you are looking for a computer-based training course, you will need to find a host with a computer training room. Often a State DOT has a training room that works. All the computers need web access, since the 2006-2008 CTPP data are accessed via the web, and not using mail-out CD's which we used for CTPP2000. After our first computer-based training session for this release of CTPP, 1.5 days was determined to be much better than a 1 day session. That is why the sessions in California are 1.5 days.
