Similar to Mr. Purvis' question:
For each UA, will there be an index available with the 2000 Census Block "STFID"
codes that make up the UA? STFID is a concatenated field containing FIPS State,
FIPS County, 2000 Tract, and 2000 Block numbers. STFID was present in all Tract, Block
Group, and Block files posted in the Census 2000 section of the Geography
Network. Link to site:
http://www.geographynetwork.com/data/tiger2000/
For example:
A 2000 Census block in Maryland has STFID = 240010015021018
24 = County
001 = County
001502 = 2000 Tract Number
1018 = 2000 Block Number
This index would allow a simple match to a county (or region / state) block file to
determine 100% coverage of the UA.
Appreciate any feedback,
