Our MPO has been working on getting Census block data aggregated to TAZ levels and we
noticed that Census data that was downloaded when 2010 Census data was released does not
match 2010 Census Data that was downloaded today. We've done various checks between
the two tables (SF1-P1), and the sums are different. Our MPA population count with the
older data is 297,986 and the sum the new data is showing us is 297,290. We did check
this with ESRI's Community Analyst and it agrees with the older data that our MPA
should have a Census 2010 population of 297,986. Is there a reason when Census data might
change? If the P1 data has changed, then I'm wondering if other Census data might be
different too.
Thank you,
