The Census Bureau is now issuing tables for workplace geography using
ACS data.
Previously, the only standard Census product using workplace geography
was the County-to-county flow tabulation (put link here). Otherwise,
workplace tabulations were part of the CTPP, the special tabulation completed
from the AASHTO pooled fund.
Already, the Census
Bureau has released four Workplace Tables for southeastern States impacted by
recent hurricanes (
In late 2006, tabulations for areas with more than 65,000 population will
be available, as ACS went into full implementation in 2005.

Subject: [CTPP] New 2004 ACS data on American Factfinder: Missing Tables?
1. The Census Bureau released the "balance" of the 2004
ACS tabulations
on American Factfinder this past Thursday, 11/17/2005. Or so we
thought.
We're currently wading through the "CTPP Part 1 - like"
tables that were
just released, but we're concerned about four tables in particular.
Can someone at the Census Bureau or USDOT comment on the four tables
that are "placeholder tables" in American Factfinder, but
don't yet have
data? These are the "workplace geography" tables:
B08406 Sex of Workers by Detailed Means of Transportation for Workplace
Geography
B08526 Means of Transportation to Work by Industry for Workplace
Geography
B08528 Means of Transportation to Work by Class of Worker for Workplace
Geography
B08534 Means of Transportation to Work by Travel TIme to Work for
Workplace Geography
Hopefully the data is "coming soon"!
2. A different question about geography in the ACS: when will the
Census Bureau convert from the older metropolitan area to the newer
metropolitan area definitions? That is, converting from the
MSA/PMSA/CMSA geographies to the CBSA/CSA geographies? [My guess is
this
will change with the release of the 2005 ACS data, next summer, but it
would be useful to confirm.]
Thanks in advance!
