Thanks Elaine. These examples are very helpful in understanding AFF2 design and
application. The list of table helps by having an overall view of what is available to
choose./Arash

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.
