The AASHTO webpage on CTPP Profiles has been
updated. http://ctpp.transportation.org/2005.htm
There are 3 different sets, the second and third sets are
the “new” ones, and are based on the October 2006 release of 2005
ACS data. The same cautions about interpreting the results from
ACS, compared to decennial Census remain the same. http://ctpp.transportation.org/production/notes/notes.htm
-The first set is by Place
of Residence. (We posted these several months ago). Probably,
we will need to go back and add more geography to this set.
-The second set is also by Place
of Residence and tabulates WORKERS and HOUSEHOLDS by household
characteristics such as HOUSEHOLD SIZE and VEHICLE AVAILABILITY.
-The third set is by Place
of Work. We do not have “metropolitan areas” here,
since the results are going to be nearly the same as for Place of
Residence. However, we included “State” totals, even if they
are also going to look very similar to Place of Residence tabulations (except
These profiles will be posted as FHWA 508-compliant HTML in
the near future. I haven’t found the time to finish a
“highlights” document similar to the one I did for the first set of
profiles.
Also, we have added several links to our ACS page, including
links to web-based training. A good starting point for learning about
using American FactFinder to access ACS data, please see the Ken Bryson
archived webinar.
