Subject: Re: [CTPP] New 2004 ACS Tables by Workplace Geography

Thanks Shimon for the update.  Anyone start to look at the tables?  BTW, I heard last
week at TRB that the CB is considering changing the size of Block Groups, to make
them slightly bigger and not be subjected to as many disclosure rules that it looks
like will be applied to small area data.
