RE: [CTPP] Census Bureau 2010 Urban Areas Shapefile Release

The October 2012 Date is for the Census data released by the Urban/rural geography. The February 2012 date is for the TIGER/Line shapefiles (geography) to be released. One is DATA the other is the GEOGRAPHY. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Mike LeBlanc Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 9:29 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Cc: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] Census Bureau 2010 Urban Areas Shapefile Release Hello: I am asking for a clarification and confirmation about the release of the 2010 urban area boundaries. I previously participated in a discussion on this list serve that the urban area boundaries would be released in October of 2012 and that the urban/rural tabulation would be release in the February of 2012. This was the schedule originally released by the Census bureau at the beginning of the 2010 census process. As I understand it now, there has been a change. The urban boundaries will now be release in Spring of 2012. The urban boundaries will not be released as originally planned in October of 2012. This is a significant date for the Lafayette MPO as well as other MPO"s who anticipate changes in their boundaries. Might you clarify and confirm?

Please note that the shapefiles to be released at this date are expected to depict the urban area boundaries only. Christopher J.
