Peter,
You can get TIGER/Line shape files from the ESRI website at:
http://www.geographynetwork.com/data/tiger2000/
 
You can get the Census information either from the American Fact Finder (http://factfinder.census.gov/)
 
A procedure to stich the shapefile with the Census 2000 BLOCK level data can be obtained from:
http://www.trbcensus.com/products/pl2gis.html
 
Another website with useful links to Census data issues is:
www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/
 
Thank you!
Nanda

Folks, Can anybody explain to me whether it is possible to get a shapefile
of a county based on 2000 census racial groupings, household by type,
population based on sex and age. l work with the Kent County MPO in Delaware
and our staff is trying to put together a map of our jurisdiction which
basically show the afore-mentioned categories. We are finding it difficult
to make a head way. Any suggestion will be very helpful.

Secondly, Nanda l am trying to get the guidelines on how to determine UA but
the url http://www.mcs.net/~berwyned/census/products/p12gis.html . does not
work. Any idea on how to go about this?

Thanks

peter
