Dear Garth-- I am
going to answer and include the CTPP listserv. Thanks for the timely
query.
The release of data
from the ACS is based on the population of the area, so you will not get "all
counties" in Michigan at the same time.
So, Counties with
population greater than 250,000 have annual data (2003) already
Counties with
population over 65,000 will have data from 2005 released in 2006.
Counties with
population over 20,000 will require a 3-year accumulation of data, so data from
2005/06/07 will be required, and will not be released until 2008.
Anything with less
than 20,000 population will require 5-years of data accumulation before
release.
Also, we have
EXCELLENT news from the CB. The CB has DRAFT tables for ACS including many
relevant tables for transportation planners. There are many "CTPP-like"
tables by "Means of Transportation to Work" at both residence geography AND
workplace geography (but not FLOW) as part of the standard tabulation package,
particularly as compared to SF3 from Census 2000. Phil Salopek of
the CB will be sending these DRAFTs out to the CTPP listserv later this
week. They were distributed in paper copy at the TRB Planning Applications
conference in Portland last week. Phil expects this table
structure to be used starting with the 2004 data (limited to large geographic
areas).

Hi Elaine:
Now that all counties are part of the ACS annual sample,
when can I expect to see ACS data for all Michigan counties on the ACS's data
tables links?
Thanks,
