Thanks for the suggestions. I have Windows XP. I was able to unzip the folders using WinZip.

I had the same problem and resorted to using 7-Zip software to unzip it. It's a free compression software - http://www.7-zip.org/.

Hope this helps.

Did anyone have a problem opening the tiger shape files? My computer gives this message shown below when I try to extract the zipped file,

Even after I opened windows explorer selected the zipped file right clicked it, opened properties and selected the ‘UNBLOCK’ tab, still I am getting that message when I try to extract the zipped file. Does anybody have a solution for this? Thanks.

Very good question Nancy? I ditto that one and will await a reply to

the list from CTTP or appropriate person. We at the Montgomery MPO in

Alabama have already made adjustments to Census 2000 TAZ and are ready

to send them to TAZ-UP process person for processing so they are

concurrent with 2010 Census tabulation and finalization.

Thanks,

Robert

Questions about timing to make adjustments to our TAZ boundaries. I

understand we will get the 2010 block data and shape files in 2011:

Will the Census Bureau or any federal agency want our revised TAZ files?

Has it been determined that ACS data will be tabulated into TAZ's?

Does anyone know what process will be used for us to submit our TAZ

files if necessary? - another TAZ-UP?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

FYI--Besides the 2009 Tiger Files it looks like we will have the new

2010 Files before the 2010 Block population counts come out in around

March of 2011. This is good news. Just yesterday I was in a meeting

where the question came up.

==================

The Census Bureau has released 2009 TIGER/Line Shapefiles today.

Available here: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/

This will be the last public release of TIGER data until early 2011.

This early 2011 release will include all of the updated 2010 tabulation

geography that serves as the geographic framework for 2010 Census data

tabulations (including the new 2010 Census tracts, block groups, blocks,

voting districts, and much more). Around the same time as this 2011

geospatial data release, Census will be releasing the tabular data with

2010 Census population counts down to the Census block level. See the

attached document for more information, including changes under

consideration and a request for input.
