Over 100 agencies have ALREADY submitted their files to the Census
Bureau Geography Division, with at least 10 agencies submitting files
today (June 16).
The CB GEO staff have found that the TAZ files look pretty good, and
although there are some TAZs that look "too small" these are often in
areas with parks or water areas. They also said that the TADs look VERY
good, with very good adherence to the 20,000 population threshold.
Thank you to everyone! I know the rest of you who are participating in
the program are working very hard to complete this task. Getting the
TAZ and TAD into Census TIGER is one step for the CTPP 5-year
tabulation. This tabulation will use ACS records from 2006-2010.
AASHTO is expected to submit the 5-year table list to the Census
Bureau's Disclosure Review Board this July.
