Elaine/Ed:
I’m working on a North Carolina Statewide
Transportation Model (NCSTM) for NCDOT. I’ve just completed the
development of the Statewide Model Zones (SMZs) using the recently released
2010 census block geography and have populated the SMZs with total population
and households from the PL94-171 data. I’m now looking to use the block
group data from the ACS 5 Year Summary File to supplement what I have from
PL94-171.
Not too surprising, the ACS data is based on 2000 block
group geography, which is different than the 2010 block group geography. When
should we expect any ACS data to be released that conforms to the 2010 census
geography?
