The continuing saga of census input.  Spent about two hours on answering the questions at the site. This time I was smart enough to copy and paste my inputs in a word file. So , if it didn’t work there I have the content.  At the end I said yes to being contacted. It asked for name address etc.   I typed A and it got filled in by I guess an app in my system with a complete response.

 

I got WRONG FIRST NAME – imagine that – I took the caps out

I got WRONG LAST NAME – I really thought I knew my name – I took the caps out

I got WRONG PHONE NUMBER – same as last time – redid the number

I got WRONG PHONE NUMBER – at least one more time maybe two after retrying options

I erased the phone number – the machine was happy with that – so was I

 

I think it made it. someone let me know if it didn’t I will send my word file.  Not a great way to spend the time.   Alan

includes flows by means of transportation from CTPP 2000, CTPP 2006-2008

and CTPP 2006-2010. Margin of Error is also included for CTPP 2006-2010

and CTPP 2006-2008. The readme file is also provided.

 

You can download the data in CSV format from the following link:

Subject: [CTPP] CTPP county-to-county flows

 

I am trying to cross-check a simple table of county-to-county flows for my metro area (Little Rock AR). The online CTPP software is time-consuming and astonishingly counter-intuitive. Does anybody know a quick tip for getting the basic residence-to-work flows by county? I need the data but have a job to do and can’t spend a week clunking around at transportation.org/ctpp etc…..

 

I’m already signed up for the CTPP webinar in June but need my data before then.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
