RE: [CTPP] Census Bureau issues corrections to Proposed Urban Area criteria based on 2000 Census - ctpp-news

Peter,
You can get TIGER/Line shape files from the ESRI website at:
http://www.geographynetwork.com/data/tiger2000/

You can get the Census information either from the American Fact Finder
(http://factfinder.census.gov/)

A procedure to stich the shapefile with the Census 2000 BLOCK level data can
be obtained from:
http://www.trbcensus.com/products/pl2gis.html

Another website with useful links to Census data issues is:
www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/

Thank you!
Nanda

>>>  Folks, Can anybody explain to me whether it is possible to get a
shapefile 
of a county based on 2000 census racial groupings, household by type, 
population based on sex and age. l work with the Kent County MPO in Delaware 
and our staff is trying to put together a map of our jurisdiction which 
basically show the afore-mentioned categories. We are finding it difficult 
to make a head way. Any suggestion will be very helpful. 

Secondly, Nanda l am trying to get the guidelines on how to determine UA but 
the url http://www.mcs.net/~berwyned/census/products/p12gis.html . does not 
work. Any idea on how to go about this? 

Thanks 

peter
