In all of the excitement over the annual TRB conference, I think we forgot to mention that the January issue is available. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/status_report/ It includes articles from 2 of the presentations at the TRB Conference on Census Issues held in October, 2011. We hope the conference summary report will be available soon from TRB! Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

Deep linking bad link

by mkaminowitz＠baltometro.org

Calvin Saruwatari (thanks!) found that the link I posted no longer contains the AFF2 Deep Linking Guide. Other links online that used to have it are also broken. I found a copy here: http://factfinder2.census.gov/legacy/AFF_deep_linking_guide.pdf No promises it will be there in a week. :) Mara Kaminowitz GIS Analyst .........................................................................

Deep linking for fun and profit

by mkaminowitz＠baltometro.org

Happy Friday, I promised some folks I would post this to the list. Deep linking, which has been mentioned here a few times, is the secret ninja way to navigate around AFF2. It's especially effective if you have set geography that you use consistently, like all tracts in a state. Here is a Census publication on the topic that may be more confusing than helpful at first, but the code lists will be important if you ever get into more advanced deep linking. The persistent URL is standardized in AFF2 and you can basically code your way into the table and geography you want. http://fastfacts.census.gov/home/saff/AFF_deep_linking_guide_v1.1.pdf Here's the fast way to get started. First, navigate AFF2 the standard way to a table of your choice. I am using population for all tracts in Maryland, ACS 06-10, as an example. You will need to get the persistent link for this page. That link is NOT the url in your address bar! To get this link you must bookmark the page using the AFF2 bookmark button, not your browser's bookmark/favorite button. Bookmark the page, go to the Bookmark/Favorite in your web browser, and look at the properties of that bookmark. THAT is the persistent link and in the example above it looks like this: http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/10_5YR/B01003/0400000US2 4.14000 I can use this link to get any table I want for all tracts in Maryland, ACS 06-10 by changing /B01003/ to the correct table. /ACS/10_5YR/B01003/ is, as you might guess, your product, data set, and table. You can change these to many different options but make sure they agree with each other. /ACS/09_5YR/B01003/ will get me the same as above only for the 05-09 estimates. /DEC/10_SF1/P#/ Gets you into the most recent decennial Census data. The end numbers control the geography. I am still working on understanding that, as the format and length depends on exactly what geography and combinations you are using. I am working on decoding it better and will post a graphic or tutorial when I do. Happy linking, Mara Kaminowitz GIS Analyst .........................................................................

Question about Poverty Threshold Base year 1982

by Sulabh Aryal

Hi everyone, Digging onto the Census documentation I found out that poverty thresholds are determined by multiplying the base-year poverty thresholds (1982) by the average of the monthly inflation factor. Does anyone can explain why this particular year 1982 is taken as base year. Thanks, Sulabh Sulabh Aryal Associate Planner Richmond Regional Planning District Commission 9211 Forest Hill Avenue, Suite 200 Richmond, VA 23235 Phone: 804.323.2033 3 Fax: 804.323.2025 saryal(a)richmondregional.org<mailto:saryal@richmondregional.org> 3 www.richmondregional.org<http://www.richmondregional.org>
