2005 ACS Data Release

by Zakaria, Thabet

Hello Everyone: On September 8, 2006, I posted on this network, some comments on the 2005 ACS data on population and journey-to-work estimates for the Delaware Valley region which consists of five counties in Pennsylvania and four in New Jersey. In this email, I want to discuss the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's (DVRPC) experience with the 2005 ACS employed persons by place of work at the county level. DVRPC uses census employed persons by place of work to develop the number of jobs or employment. Employment data are used in the DVRPC modeling process to estimate trip attractions by trip purpose. To account for total employment, DVRPC factors upward census employed persons by place of work to account for workers who have multiple jobs and workers who were on vacation or sick during the survey days. DVRPC has used this method successfully to develop employment estimates based on the long-form of Census 2000. The application of this method to 2005 ACS data on employed persons produces erroneous results compared to those obtained from Census 2000. The 2005 ACS employed persons by place of work results in reasonable employment estimates for only three counties of the DVRPC nine counties. Employment estimates for three of the remaining six counties are significantly underestimated and three are overestimated. For example, the employment estimate for Delaware County, PA is underestimated by 24,500 jobs or 10.3 percent compared to estimates from secondary sources. Conversely, the employment of Burlington County, NJ is overestimated by 16,300 jobs or 8.1 percent. These errors are expected in the 2005 ACS results because of many reasons, including the ACS sample size is too small, the population universe in estimated rather than counted, and the data collection procedures are not comprehensive. To produce reasonable employment data, DVRPC has used employment estimates from other secondary sources such as BEA, BLS and ES 202. Unfortunately, none of these sources can be used without adjustment. BEA data have always been overestimated and BLS and ES 202 have always been underestimated. Also, the margin of error in local employment estimates is generally large. Hopefully, the planned accumulation of ACS data for five years (2007-2011) may produce more accurate employment estimates than the 2005 ACS data and data from secondary sources.

CTPP Update

by ed christopher

Over the last few weeks several of us have been talking about a potential consolidated purchase by the state DOTs of the next round of Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP). Below is an excerpt from summary that David Clawson of AASHTO prepared from the Standing Committee on Planning meeting where the CTPP proposal was discussed. Attached is a copy of the propasal which, while similar to the the 1990 and 2000 in terms data products, goes much further in regard to technical assistance, research and training. By way of note: David will be retiring form AASHTO and his last day is December 15, 2006. I for one will miss David as he has been not only a supported in all this CTPP business but has helped carry the water within AASHTO for atleast the last two cycles, 1990 and 2000. I am sure many of us will miss David. -------------------------- Summary of October 28, 2006 SCOP meeting held in Portland, Oregon The AASHTO Standing Committee on Planning met on October 28, 2006 in Portland, Oregon in conjunction with the AASHTO Annual Meeting. Susan Mortel, of Michigan DOT and SCOP vice chair presided Jonette Kreideweis, Minnesota DOT, presented a report of the SCOP Data Task Force, which she chairs. She first discussed a proposal for a Consolidated Purchase by the States of the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) copy attached. Under this proposal, the 50 State DOTs and the District of Columbia would make a consolidated purchase of the CTPP through AASHTO as was done for the 1990 Census and 2000 Census. Jonette distributed a copy of the proposal, which was also sent to SCOPT prior to the Portland meeting. The proposal indicated the cost to each state and the District of Columbia. SCOP members discussed this proposal, with meeting participants expressing support for the proposal and raising some questions about AASHTOs timing and flexibility in collecting these funds. Dave Clawson of AASHTO indicated that AASHTOs preference would be to receive the funds in one or two payments, but that AASHTO would work with States on a case by case basis to meet the State issues in making these payments. SCOP approved the proposal for a new CTPP, which was also distributed to the AASHTO Executive Committee. Dave Clawson indicated that following this meeting, AASHTO would be sending financial commitment letters for this project to each of the CEOs, with copies to their SCOP members. 11/15/06 ---- Ed Christopher Resource Center Planning Team Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) 708-283-3501 (F)

Multiple sites in QCEW/ES-202

by Murakami, Elaine

Thanks Sam! I am interested in identifying systematic issues so that approaches to improve the overall quality of the data can be made. The recent discussions here, and on the lehd-ltd listserv have indicated a problem with School Districts and employment at individual schools. Glad to hear that Ohio has improved the ES-202 file to address this! I would like to know if there are other industry categories that have similar problems and what approaches to solving the problem have worked! The Multiple Worksite Report http://www.bls.gov/cew/cewmwr00.htm is a VOLUNTARY component of the QCEW/ES-202 program. There are 2 papers that may be of interest to you, linked to the FHWA Census page: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/lehd.htm Early research sponsored by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics examined data from Florida and Illinois. Results for Illinois found that the LED 2001 data had much fewer shares of people working in their county of residence compared to ACS. Please see the paper by Wende Mix presented at the 2005 TRB Conference on Census Data for Transportation Planning. This was attributed to over-assignment to headquarters locations. Another early paper which discussed multiple worksite businesses (also linked to the FHWA website) is by Julia Lane and Marc Roemer which indicates that there are 2 main issues: 1) a business is NOT identified as having multiple sites, and 2) even if the business is identified as having multiple sites, the list of those sites may be incomplete. Lastly, just as a reminder, the universe of the QCEW/ES-202 is different from Census or ACS household surveys. 1. QCEW does not include self-employed. LEHD program is exploring use of Census Business Register to add self-employed. In the Census 2000, about 10% of workers reported they were self-employed. 2. QCEW does not include military or federal government or postal workers. LEHD program is working with OPM to get federal employees included. 3. The coverage in the Agriculture & Mining sectors is not always complete depending on the state. 4. LEHD data count both jobs and workers. LEHD uses the "primary" job concept, i.e. the job with the highest earnings in each quarter, to assign a single workplace geography to a worker. I hope I am not sounding negative about LEHD! I think it has a lot of potential, after more data cleaning particularly with multiple site businesses at the front end, and integration with additional files. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - For those of you who didn't already know, the US Dept of Education maintains a national geo-codable database of K-12 schools at http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ (go to Data Resources>Build A Table), where you can select a particular geographic area and fields include both school lat/lon and geocodable street address. I've used this site on several occasions to supplement ES202 data to geocode education employment throughout the state of Ohio and for multi-state metro areas.

Software needs for TAZ definition and submission to CB for TIGER

by Murakami, Elaine

The Census Bureau Geography Division has asked us to submit to them software requirements for TAZ definition by the end of Calendar Year 2006. We are working on the assumption that the CTPP pooled fund proposal will move forward through AASHTO's process. In 1998, FHWA contracted with Election Data Services to produce the TAZ-UP for software creating the 2000 TAZs used for CTPP 2000. TAZ-UP greatly simplified the ability to create and export TAZs to CB's TIGER files. The process was a big improvement over the paper-map-pencil drawings, which were used for the 1990 CTPP. For the 2010 Census, the CB has a contract with M-cubed and its subcontractor Caliper Corporation for software development to support the "Participant Statistical Areas Program" (PSAP). The PSAP includes the tract and block group definition process. The software being developed for this program can be modified to accommodate TAZ, SuperTAZ or any other geographic units that the transportation planning community would like to have added into TIGER. In our last regular CTPP meeting, we did discuss concepts of corridors and downtowns, but we think those would be best left as aggregates of TAZs that are handled later through a TAZ-equivalency process for CTPP, rather than adding them into TIGER. Below is a summary of our discussions from a meeting held on October 18, 2006. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU THINK WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING IMPORTANT! Please send your remarks to nanda.srinivasan(a)dot.gov by November 10. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 Summary of Specifications The software should have the ability to create 3 levels of TAZs - one is a base TAZ which will be subsequently used to define two other larger size aggregations (optional by county). The base TAZ would be similar to the traditional "small area geography" TAZs in 2000. The software must provide ability to aggregate these TAZs to medium size (about 4,000 population) and larger size (about 20,000 population) aggregations (much like Block Groups being aggregated to Tracts, or Tracts aggregated to PUMAs), if desired by the MPO/State. The functional specifications include: 1. Load TIGER/Line 2008 or 2009 files in their native format, including TAZ, Tract, Block Group, Roads, water, and other polygon layers. 2. Display TIGER layers. 3. Import and display background layers: a. Import and display of other MPO or State owned data (shapefiles - points, lines, or polygons), as long as these files are in decimal degrees, NAD 83 projections. b. Import and display of aerial photography, as long as these files are in decimal degrees, NAD 83 projections. 4. Create or Devise Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) polygon features using screen digitizing starting from: a. 2000 TAZ geography, if defined, or else current Tracts or Block Groups. b. Using primary polygons in TIGER, if 2000 TAZs were not defined, or if the agency does not choose to use Tracts or Block Groups as starting point. c. The software should have the ability to aggregate polygons using a lassoing function (to zoom in or out), select polygons, or draw a line around (point-by-point) and add them to a TAZ. 5. TAZ Definition Guidelines: a. The software should prompt the user to create TAZs to cover the whole county without any discontiguity. Importantly, there should not be any sliver TAZs or duplicate TAZ numbering in any county. b. The maximum number of alphanumeric characters for TAZ might be set at 8. c. There may be cases where a TAZ boundary might require segment(s) to be added to TIGER. If there is a valid geography that does not show as a line segment (e.g.: a polygon bounded by a new road), the software must provide the ability to use the line segment as a TAZ boundary, and allow the user to print the view/map, annotate it, and submit it to electronically/via hardcopy to the Census Bureau. d. Counters: i. Count and display * 2000 total residential population (using 2000 block population counts). * 2000 resident worker population (workers by place of residence), and 2000 workers by place of work (using 2000TAZ/Block Group values) for each delineation of a TAZ. NOTE: CTPP Part 2 should be used for place of work counts. TAZ and Block Group counts are not available nationwide, although tract counts are available nationwide. * If the currently defined TAZ cuts across 2000 geography (TAZ/BG), then use proportion of TAZ by area in that BG/TAZ to estimate resident/worker counts. Because this task might be difficult, a separate cost estimate should be requested from the software developer. ii. Count and display the sum of resident workers, and workers by place of work to aid to determine the size of the TAZ. 6. Final Checks: Once TAZ definition is complete, and before export, the software must check for items 6a through 6e, and flag the items on a list. Export should be allowed only if all the following items are flagged. If any of these items are not satisfied, the software should loop the user through each entry. a. Completeness b. Contiguity c. Uniqueness: Ensure no duplicate TAZ numbers anywhere in a county. d. Check for polygon closure for each TAZ. e. Distinguish whether the user wants the TAZ boundary to move with a tract/BG boundary (since the tract boundaries will be draft at that time), or if the user wants the TAZ boundary to be locked and not move with a tract/BG boundary. 7. Export output: Upon completion of the TAZ definition and after completion of final checks (Step 6), the software should provide ability to: a. Export the file to the requirements of the Census Bureau, Geography Division. b. Export the final TAZ shapefile copy for MPO/State use. 8. (Optional by County) Aggregations of TAZs. Once basic TAZs are developed, the software must allow the ability to aggregate these TAZs into two other transportation geographies - A medium sized TAZ (Med TAZ), and a large TAZ (Lg TAZ). a. Use final TAZ shapefile as starting point to develop medium size (Med TAZ) or Large size (Lg TAZ) aggregations. b. The software should have the ability to aggregate polygons using a lassoing function (to zoom in or out), select TAZ polygons, or draw a line around (point-by-point) and add them to MZ or LZ polygons. c. Provide counters similar to item 5c to check the population/employment of these zones. d. Prior to completion and export, do final checks similar to item 6. e. Provide export outputs similar to step 8. B. Provide the final software on CD-ROM or through a web-based retrieval process. C. Provide a "Help" button to explain software features.

Re: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 33, Issue 10

by Sam Granato

For those of you who didn't already know, the US Dept of Education maintains a national geo-codable database of K-12 schools at http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ (go to Data Resources>Build A Table), where you can select a particular geographic area and fields include both school lat/lon and geocodable street address. I've used this site on several occasions to supplement ES202 data to geocode education employment throughout the state of Ohio and for multi-state metro areas. FYI, our ES202 employment agency in this state beginning in 2005 switched from coding all public K-12 employment to the district administrative offices to the individual schools.

Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43223 Phone: 614-644-6796, Fax: 614-752-8646 "You can observe a lot just by watching." - Yogi Berra Dear CTPP listserv: As some of you are aware, the Census Bureau has been working with Department of Labor QCEW (formerly known as ES-202) files, combined with federal administrative records, to synthesize home-to-work flow tabulations for small geography. The first phase which used QCEW for 2002 and 2003 included 12 states: CA, CO, FL, ID, IL, MN, MO, NC, OR, PA, VA and WA. Cross-state commuting was addressed ONLY for MO and IL in a test. In the last 10 months, Ed Christopher and I have held several teleconferences to work together with State DOTs and State Employment Departments to work out data sharing agreements, and to discuss the possibility of improving feedback mechanisms to improve the quality of the data. In the past, when State Employment Departments shared their data, when a State DOT or MPO made "corrections" to the file for using the data in a transportation application, there was no mechanism to recommend that someone in the Employment Department check the original data to make a correction. Most often, this has to do with establishments with multiple sites, where all the employment is coded to one location, rather than multiple locations. Most recently, on the lehd-ltd listserv (see below on how to sign up), there was a discussion about the lack of specific school locations and the assignment of school employment to a district or school board headquarters office location. But, no dataset is perfect. This link includes some materials from a transportation perspective on the LEHD http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/lehd.htm Because the LEHD holds promise as a source for annual home-to-work flow tabulation for small geography, we would like to encourage you to examine the data, and to discuss your findings with the transportation data community. We will have a session at the TRB Transportation Planning Application conference in Daytona Beach in May 2007 to discuss some of the work done so far. The Census Bureau now has a new project in place covering 43 states and QCEW data for 2004. In this project, cross-state commuting will be addressed for all states, and the 2002 and 2003 data will be updated to account for cross-state commuting. To sign-up for the lehd-ltd listserv, http://lists.census.gov/mailman/listinfo/lehd-ltd/ Please read Jeremy Wu's email below regarding the Cornell site with access to data from Oregon and Texas, after you register as a user. If my email has any mistakes, I hope that Jeremy will send corrections!
