RE: [CTPP] Draft ACS Proposed Transportation-Related Tables

by Murakami

More clarification on when ACS data will be available. Areas with 65,000+ population will have annual data. Areas with 20,000+ population will have data provided annually, using a 3-year accumulation. Therefore, 2005 thru 2007 data will be available starting in 2008. Then, 2006-2008 data will be available in 2009. Areas with less than 20,000+ (small towns, census tracts, block groups) will require 5 years of data accumulation, but the Census Bureau says they will also make these tabulations available annually, with 5-year accumulations. Therefore, the first data available should be 2005-2009, with release in 2010. And then 2006-2010 available in 2011. One of my concerns is that for these small areas, 2005-2009 data will be weighted to the county estimates numbers, and the 2006-2010 will be weighted to 2010 decennial census data. So, there will likely be a discontinuity at this point.

Dear Everyone-- I know that reviewing this spreadsheet might seem tedious, but I encourage you to review it and provide your comments via the listserv, or to me directly. The current status is that the residence-based tabulation have been approved by the DRB for 2004 ACS data. The workplace-based tables are still draft, and have not yet been approved by the DRB. Any comments that we provide now will not likely change the 2004 data tabulation, but could be considered for the 2005 ACS data tabulation. This is IMPORTANT because the 2005 ACS data is the first data from "full implementation." One comment on this set that arose at the TRB Census conference held May 11-13, was to add to the AGE breakout "65 to 74" and then "75 and over". This is because more people are continuing to work after age 65 and we need to start tracking these trends. I noticed that several tables include "earnings" but there are no tables using "household income" as a variable. Do you want something that cross-tabulates a Journey-to-work variable with household income? e.g. Household income * Means of transportation to work, or household income * # of Vehicles.?
