Good morning, I'm new to the listserv, but I'm working with CTPP data and had a question where I think I need outside experts with more experience in the dataset. I am working with a CTPP dataset (covering Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties) and have been asked to find the sample sizes that were used for the estimates. Are the sample size numbers publicly available? If so, would you point me in the right direction? If they are not available, are there any methods you could suggest to find (with all necessary cautions) the sample size given the estimate and margin of error data that is available? Please let me know if I need to amend the request, John Helsel Data Scientist - Systems Analysis Group [wsp_RGB three4] Phone: +1 919 836 4068 Email: john.helsel(a)wsp.com<mailto:john.helsel@wsp.com> WSP USA 434 Fayettville St #1500 Raleigh, NC 27601 wsp.com<http://www.wsp-pb.com/usa> WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff is now WSP.

Re: [CTPP] why do journalists get early access to embargoed data, and not accredited local government planners

by Graham, Todd

Hi Charles— Re: why do journalists get early access to embargoed data, and not accredited local government planners? The answer, from Census’s Public Info Office, is that 100s of state or regional governments do have the access. Embargoed data access is possible for trustworthy organizations that have a need AND a program/ business relationship with the Census Bureau. Specifically: State or regional governments, etc, can get embargoed data access if they are coordinating or affiliate members of the Census State Data Centers (SDC) network. This comes with some obligations, sure. But if you’re already working as a socioec/ census data analyst in your organization, there’s a lot of upside. Anyone interested in this can call/ write to you SDC state lead. Look up your state here: https://www.census.gov/about/partners/sdc/member-network.html The state lead is the name at the top of your state’s list.
