Sweson:
I used Maptitude's TIGER/Line Import function
without any problem. The
TIGER Version is 2000. Feature to import is "Census Urban Areas." I
converted the projection to NAD83. Now, I have to join all 9 Counties
together and get pertinent Census 2000 Block or Block Group demographics
for further analysis. I would welcome any suggestions as to steps for
doing this and procedures and considerations for revising the
Metropolitan Planning Area.
The SF 1 Data CDs, available by state for $195 each, have the full SF 1
tables for each summary level down to Census blocks. The State Data CDs,
also available by state for $195 each, have geographic files for all of the
summary levels within a state, down to Census blocks, plus other geographic
files such as streets.
Maptitude and TransCAD come with nationwide geographic files down to Census
tracts, and the demographic profile for SF 1 for each of those summary
levels. For more information on geographic and Census 2000 demographic data
available from Caliper Corporation, visit (
