RE: [CTPP] ACS 3-year 20,000 pop threshold

Well, if these places want to be in the ACS game they will simply need to redraw their county boundaries.

It was developed in reply to a request by Alan Pisarski at the CTPP Oversight Board meeting last week. Alan had wanted to SEE where the counties that DID NOT MEET the 3-year 20,000 population threshold were. Elaine worked with Supin Yoder also of FHWA and used a list of counties provided by Melissa Chiu of the Census Bureau to make the map. Besides being very informative it is possible to zoom into the map if you want to look at a particular state or area. I have seen lists of Counties before but seeing the map was quite revealing. When looking at the map and considering your areas, keep in mind that even if a county has met the population threshold of 20,000 it does not mean that all the tables for that county will be available in the ACS 3-year tables. I know this point has frustrated many users. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA Resource Center 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461 _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news
