Re: [CTPP] Regional and Statewide Census Geodatabases

I would ask around your state planning department or data center, or anyone that has put demographic profiles of your region online. They may be the ones that have done this. Are you familiar with the summary file? http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/ This has the data and documentation to set up all the Census data for a state into a series of Access databases (there is too much data to fit into just one). It will be time consuming to set up but you'd only have to do it once. Then you could download your shapefiles and join them to the data as needed.

Although all of the data can be downloaded from the Census Bureau on an as needed basis, we would like a more permanent copy in-house for our GIS needs and publication to our regional GIS website. We are hoping to find something pre-built, rather then downloading and compiling everything ourselves. Any assistance in the endeavor is appreciated.
