Does anyone know if the census will continue to release files, including the CTPP, in the SRC Allocate product format? We purchased the extended product which allows the user to integrate census files with geography in Arcview or MapInfo. A shape file can also be brought into Allocate and used as custom geography; you can choose to create reports on the shape file's polygons just as you could choose to select information based on a census tract or place. The product makes producing a standard or custom report easy and quick-literally in seconds. When we used the product that came with the SF1 disk, we called SRC and found the extended product was very cheap. I have not found a quicker or easier method of retrieving census data, the GIS connection is a nice bonus.
