USA Today has the data and is planning a fairly major play on the release date. AEP _____ From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Murakami, Elaine Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 7:46 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] October 3 is the next scheduled release of ACS tablesincluding PLACE OF WORK! How time flies! Just when you thought you were getting a handle on the journey-to-work data from the 2005 ACS, the next round of data will released! The next set will include Place of Work tabulations. >From the CTPP world, these are like "CTPP Part 2" tables, where the tabulation is by place-of-work, rather than place-of-residence. Since the 2005 ACS included ALL counties in the sample, the place-of-work tabulations should look much better than the 2004 ACS place-of-work tabulations (about one-third of counties were included in the sample). Don't forget: 1. 2005 ACS does not include Group Quarters population. That is, areas with large military installations and/or college dormitories should expect considerable differences when comparing to Census 2000 results. 2. The data are collected over all 12 months, therefore areas with seasonal shifts are likely to see the greatest differences when comparing to Census 2000 results. Good luck! Nanda Srinivasan, Ed Christopher and I are trying to wrap up our new Profile sheets using the 2005 ACS Place-of-Residence tables, but we have had a lot of work on calculating Margins of Error and incorporating the results into the tables.
