This webinar included a live demonstration of the Missouri State Data Center's Dexter (data extraction) tool, which unfortunately cannot be downloaded in a standard presentation format (PPT, PDF, etc.). However, many of the same functions demonstrated during the webinar are available as a series of video tutorials on the MCDC website using the link below.

Good morning,
Just wanted to give a heads up that the new county commuting flows, based on the 5-year 2009-2013 ACS were released today. The tables include the typical worker flow counts as well as a means of transportation component (4 categories: drove alone, carpool, transit, other). The tables also include a metropolitan area indicator, so it is possible to sort and organize by metro area.
Enjoy,
Brian

John Blodgett of the University of Missouri Office of Social and Economic Data Analysis (OSEDA) will offer a presentation and demonstration of tools available through the Missouri State Data Center (MCDC)<http://census.missouri.edu/>.

* An overview of the MCDC's Uexplore/Dexter software
* Live examples of using Uexplore/Dexter to locate and extract data with special emphasis on data from the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey
* Using MCDC custom web applications to look at profile and trend reports, and to do custom extracts from 2010 Census and latest 5-year ACS data
* Accessing ACS base/summary tables and metadata using Uexplore/Dexter

As a bonus, Penelope Weinberger (AASHTO) will provide an update on the next CTPP special tabulation, which will be based on 2011-2015 ACS 5-Year data.
