It should work. Both are supposed to have the 4 digit tabulation blocks. I
haven't tried it, although I have joined tracts. Where did you get your
block polygons from? Note that the Bureau moved the 2000 geocodes onto the
basic TIGER line record (record type 1) but not the basic poly record
(record type A)--that still has 1990 geocodes and you have to get the 2000
codes off record type S. Actually the 2000 TAZ codes show as being on
record type A, all other geocodes on that rec are documented as 1990.

Would anyone know if the population data that comes on the disk for
redistricting can be joined or related to the tiger 2000 blocks? the first
cut didnt seem to work the block IDs dont seem to be right or something?
Looks like it may work for Tract though...
Any thoughts?
