To obtain profile data from the CB website, you have two options 1. You can download all of the data for VA from the FTP site at: http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/100_and_sample_profile/Virginia/ You will have to add headers to the csv files. 2. Search for the Demographic profile (pdf format) from http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-bin/pct/pctProfile.pl I found all the MSA data for VA through the search option. Thanks Nanda Srinivasan Why is it that some of the 2000 Demographic Profile summaries currently being released include summaries for metro areas in addition to statewide summaries? As an example, Illinois includes summaries for the state, Cook County, and Chicago City. Yet Georgia only includes a state report (you might expect Atlanta to have a summary). I am specifically interested in metro areas of Virginia. The web page I am referring to is http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/demoprofiles.html Thanks for the help.
