Snagged this off a Census Bureau Press release... 2010 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates* — The U.S. Census Bureau will release findings from the 2008-2010 American Community Survey, the most relied-on source for up-to-date socioeconomic information every year. The release covers more than 40 topics, such as educational attainment, income, health insurance coverage, occupation, language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry and selected monthly homeowner costs. The estimates are available in detailed tables for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district, every metropolitan area, and all counties and places with populations of 20,000 or more. (Estimates will be embargoed Oct. 25 for release Oct. 27.) -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443

Employment Status for the Popualtion Ages 14-18

by Cook, Cliff

I've been asked whether the ACS, or another readily available data source, provides labor force status for persons 14-18. My understanding is that ACS does not include this data, that labor force information is only collected for the population 16 and older. Am I correct? All suggestions and comments would be helpful. Thanks Cliff Cook ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clifford Cook Planning Information Manager Cambridge Community Development Dept. 344 Broadway Cambridge, MA. 02139 617/349-4656 FAX 617/349-4669 TTY 617/349-4621 email => ccook(a)cambridgema.gov<mailto:ccook@cambridgema.gov> web site => http://www.cambridgema.gov/cdd/

Reminder: Tuesday, Oct 11 at 1:00 - 3:00 p.m EASTERN, WEB-Training on American FactFinder 2 conducted by Census Bureau

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

As of today, about 150 people have signed up for the October 11 webinar, so there is still room for you! This webinar will focus on AFF2. Please use the link below to register for the session. I have reserved 220 spaces. https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/webconference/web_conf_learner_re g.aspx?webconfid=23454 After you register, you will get the meeting URL and the telephone number. Ed Christopher from the FHWA Resource Center Planning Team is responsible for running the session. His email address is edc(a)berwyned.com (he prefers using this email address to his official USDOT email address). Michelle Jiles on the Census Bureau's ACS staff will conduct the training. Michelle previously worked for the Census Bureau's Journey-to-work and Migration Branch, so she is familiar with the CTPP user community. I have asked her to cover examples using both tables from ACS and 2010 Census SF 1. She will mention but not provide training on the ACS system to download files. The Block Group data from ACS is not available via AFF2 but ONLY through the download system. If there is time at the end, she can discuss this more fully, or else, we will arrange for another training session. We will have plenty of time for questions and answers.

Are you writing GIS code to estimate Urbanized Area Boundaries using 2010 Census

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

I can't remember who told me they were writing some ArcGIS code to estimate what the Census Bureau's new urbanized (50,000+) areas might be, based on the CB's Federal Register notice of the final criteria. If you are willing to share your code, I think that there are others who would be interested in applying it in their own area. I checked with the Census Bureau Geography and they said they were NOT going to share their code. FHWA decided NOT to attempt this task, as we will just WAIT for the list and boundaries to be released from the Census Bureau. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

2010 1-year ACS due out Sept 22nd.

by Ed Christopher

I found this is my email today from an undisclosed source. I would think that the data will only be released in Factfinder2 but I haven't heard anything for sure. If anyone on the list is part of the State Data Center network and knows more please let us know. For now I guess we will just have to wait and read about it in our newspapers. --------------- Sept 20, 2011: Media Webinar: 2010 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates - at 3 p.m. EDT, the Census Bureau will hold a Web conference to discuss the Sept. 22 release of the 1-year American Community Survey estimates. The webinar will include guidance on how to access and use the upcoming 1-year estimates, a review of selected findings and a question and answer session. The Web conference will consist of a simultaneous audio conference and online presentation. Dial-in and access information will be announced closer to the date. Only media with current embargo passwords may join in.

FW: [CTPP] 2010 1-year ACS due out Sept 22nd.

by Manny Trillo

This announcement came from the Census Bureau today. As you can see, it is for "Only members of the media who have applied for and received embargo access may join." Apparently the Census Bureau is not interested in releasing embargoed data to those of us who use it. The SCD network is apparently allowed to participate in these press releases/discussions/webinars, but not the affiliate network. I have repeatedly stressed that the local media, upon getting something like this, immediately calls us for the local slant. Of course, we have none because we don't have access to the data. Yes, you will have to wait and read it in your local newspapers or watch it in the local news.

HPMS Small Urban Area vs. Urban Cluster

by Hesselroth, Denise (DOT)

Hello, I'm kind of new to this group and don't know if this topic has been covered before or if there are other HPMS folks on this list. This is a GIS technical question related to the population minimum of 2,500 for urban clusters and the population minimum of 5,000 for HPMS Small Urban Areas. The TIGER/Line shapefiles for boundaries for Urban Areas will be available in Spring 2012. We plan to use these shapes (after smoothing) to do a GIS "clip" of the roads within them to determine HPMS Data Item #2, Urban_Code. The HPMS Field Manual says that the Urban_Code value "is 99998 for small urban sections (not within the adjusted urbanized area and with an urban population of at least 5,000)." So I assume there will be a way to identify the Urban Areas in the shapefile by population so that we can remove those shapes with population between 2,500 and 5,000 before we do our geoprocessing for HPMS. Is this correct? Thanks!

Disability data

by Sulabh Aryal

Do we have any disability data which is newer than Census 2000. I could not find any in ACS nor in Census 2010.
