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

Red vs blue has no bearing here. This is apolitical census information. People are where people are, regardless of who funded what or how they voted.

Seems to be correlated with blue and red maps I have seen. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Ed Christopher Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 5:41 PM To: ctpp-news maillist Subject: [CTPP] ACS 3-year 20,000 pop threshold Elaine Murakami (FHWA) just passed me a powerpoint slide that I have to share. 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
