On the Road to Census 2010

by ed christopher

The Census Bureau will conduct field testing for the 2010 census in Colquitt, Thomas and Tift counties in Georgia, Lake County in Illinois and a portion of northwestern Queens County in New York. A major innovation that will be studied in 2004 is equipping field interviewers with hand-held computing devices to collect questionnaire data, navigate to assignments and update the Bureau's Master Address File. The devices also will include global positioning system (GPS) technology that can improve the process of assigning addresses to their correct geographic location. In addition to studying new technologies, the 2004 census test will examine a variety of methodological and operational improvements. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/cb02cn172.html

Re: [CTPP] Question about OMB initiative on combining statistical areas

by Nanda Srinivasan

OMB issued a Federal Register Notice for the new definition of MSAs in December 2000. This called for the creation of metropolitan, and micropolitan areas. More information can be found at: http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/masrp.html Thanks Nandu >>> elizabeth.hartmann(a)dot.state.mn.us 10/03/02 12:38PM >>> Does anyone have any information or resources on this topic: ********************************************* From: "William Hansen" <hansen(a)stcloudapo.org> What do you know about OMB's initiative to Combine Statistical Areas? They are looking for local input on combining, I need to get some info for the Board on impacts to us as an MPO. ********************************************* Thanks!

Re: [CTPP] TAZ geography

by Chuck Purvis

Martha: Yes, the TAZ boundaries from the Census Bureau's web site are "generalized" boundaries, intended for mapping at a very small scale, say, 1:1000000. Where TAZ boundaries tend to zig-zag, the Bureau has removed both the zig and the zag. Again, this is OK for mapping at very small scales, but could be a problem when zooming into a particular county or community. The accurate boundaries can be derived from TIGER/Line files, and won't have the generalizations and "smoothing out" of boundaries. You can get these from ESRI's web site at: http://www.esri.com/data/download/census2000_tigerline/index.html (Note: the link from geographynetwork.com now points to this ESRI page.) Chuck Purvis, MTC >>> Martha Kile <mkile(a)mwcog.org> 09/30/02 03:26PM >>> Has anyone had problems using the shape files or E00 files for TAZ boundaries available on the Census website? We have noticed that some of our TAZ boundaries look strange, as if there is a problem with collapsing polygons. Do I need to create the TAZ boundaries myself from the TIGER files? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
