Elaine: Thanks for posting the announcement! Our MPO staff have been anticipating this data for months. Two questions, perhaps you or Census Bureau Geog Division could answer: 1. Will our new 1 percent and 5 percent PUMAs be on these new TIGER files? 2. Other than the USDOT, what federal agencies use the urbanized area data, and how? Thanks, Chuck Purvis, MTC Census 2000 UA TIGER/Line files should be available for download from the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line web page this week, but may not be available on Wednesday. *********************************************** Charles L.
