In viewing some of the Michigan UA boundaries, I've found that some current MPO modeled areas bleed into other UAs. For instance, a portion of the Holland model area is now in the Grand Rapids UA. Also, the Muskegon UA now extends into a county that is not part of its model area. So, what are the implications of such cases? What is the process for MPOs to reconcile their boundaries in such cases, or should one expect no changes. I'd appreciate any clarifications on this issue.

RE: [CTPP] UA conversion

by Wrafter, Eoin

I agree Brian I too had someone do the conversion in ArcInfo and it matched the results from TIGER reader in ArcView 3.2. Although the field name is incorrect it appears the underlying data maybe correct.

Re: [CTPP] Thanks!

There are several ways to get to the release schedule. The most direct way is directly through the following link -- http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/demoprofiles.html Patty Becker <pbecker(a)umich.ed To: "Carol Palmoski" <PALMOSKI(a)co.lancaster.pa.us>, u> ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Sent by: cc: owner-ctpp-news@c Subject: Re: [CTPP] Thanks! hrispy.net 05/08/2002 01:34 PM Over the next month, Summary File 3 profiles will be released, a few states at a time. The last of the states come out on June 4 (which is where Michigan is). The release schedule is probably somewhere on the census web site, but I couldn't find it on FactFinder. I think they're saying 3 days from the release date until the profiles are up in .pdf on the web. These profiles will be for states, counties, and "cities and towns." Hope this helps.

Re: [CTPP] UA conversion

by Dan Seidensticker

Hi Kendis, The formatting for the records in the UA TIGER files are a little different than the previous release so you won't get the correct results using the TIGER tools in Arc 8. If you do convert the UA TIGER files with ArcTools you will notice that the first 4 of the 5 digits for the 2000 UA Code end up in field UA90 and last digit in UR90. You can see why this happens if you compare the formatting of the ArcInfo result for Record Type A to the Census Documentation for Record Type A (Chapter 6, p.12). In other words UA90+UR90=UA. So, you can get a look at the Urban Areas if you relate Record Type A to the Census Geography using CENPOLID and concatenate fields UA90 and UR90. But I personally am going to hold off doing much more work with the UA TIGER files until ESRI updates the conversion tools. I'm sure there are other formatting changes that I'm not aware of. ---------------------- GIS Trivia Question: The GIS software maker Idrisi was named after: Galaxy Cartographer born 1099 A.D. in Morocco Their CEO's son A city in Egypt ____________________ Dan Seidensticker GIS Specialist Madison Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, City of Madison Planning Unit 121 S.
