Subject: [CTPP] Hints on using AFF2 for 2010 Census Summary File 1

Hi Everyone –

Hope you are having a wonderful summer!   

Here is a small “helpful hints” document on using American FactFinder 2 with 2010 Census Summary File 1.  Hope these 2 handouts are useful to you.

Thank you to everyone who helped create and improve them:  Linda Clark at the Seattle Regional Office of the Census Bureau, Ed Christopher from FHWA Resource Center, and Liang Long  from Cambridge Systematics. 

You don’t have to use Census Bureau’s American FactFinder 2.  There are other ways to get the Summary File 1 data.  The August issue of the CTPP Status Report includes a link to instructions of using the Microsoft Access Table Shell, and the Missouri Census Data Center.  We are expecting final approval of the August issue any day now.
