Maybe someone can tell me what I am missing here. I have downloaded the data and converted it in Arc View 3.2a with a Tiger Reader from the ESRI web site. But the closest thing to an "Urban Area" for 2000 is the "Transportation Planning Area." Any help?

I suspect it is a problem with your TIGER conversion software. Did this come from ESRI? Last I knew they didn't have a "converter" for ArcView which is why they put all the TIGER files on their web site as shapefiles. At any rate, I read TIGER with Arc/Info and the "UA" field is on record type A, columns 81-85, for polygons. I normally build from the line segment (arc) attributes (a very old habit) but I didn't find urbanized area fields on either record type 1 or 3.

I used TransCad and opened TIGER file for our county and then imported "Census Urban Areas" This gave my new urban boundary. bob - Robert Wood Transportation Director Sherman - Denison MPO Texoma Council of Governments 1117 Gallagher, Suite 300 Sherman, Texas 75090 (903) 813-3534 Fax: (903) 813-3539 rwood(a)texoma.cog.tx.us www.sdmpo.org Chad Coziahr; FM Metro COG wrote:

New subject: Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. It looks like the converter I used is the problem. I will have to follow up with one of the alternatives many of you suggested. I found the TIGER Reader script by clicking ArcScript on the ESRI main page and then running a search for "tiger" and narrowing the search to the Avenue language. The URL line from the search is http://arcscripts.esri.com/scripts.asp?eQuery=tiger&eLang=2&eProd=&… Chad Coziahr Fargo-Moorhead Metro COG ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert LaMacchia To: Ctpp-News Maillist Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 1:05 PM Subject: [CTPP] UA TIGER/Line files now available The UA Census 2000 TIGER/Line files are now available at: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tigerua/ua_tgr2k.html Bob LaMacchia Geography Division U.
