Does anyone know if HUD has calculated the lowmod (low and moderate income)
data by census tract and block group based on the 2005-2009 ACS data. These
data were used for CDBG (community development block grants) and for some
city programs.
Thank you.

Texas Transportation Institute: Transit Mobility Program has been applying the Census 2010 UA Criteria released on August 24, 2011. We have been assisting the TxDOT Public Transportation Division in their efforts to anticipate the impacts of UA and UC changes.
A co-worker and I have been conducting analysis on specific urban clusters/areas as per TxDOT's needs for anticipating the impact of changes on transit formula funding. I have spoken with some contacts within the Census Geography Department and am confident I have a good grasp of data sources and interpretation of the criteria. However, the analysis we have done has not been via a script or code in GIS. We have been manually applying certain steps of the criteria, such as the changes relating to impervious surface, to augment some recent statewide research we had already completed (we projected 2010 UAs several years ago). I think that Martin Catala at CUTR may have a student now working on a script and code for the criteria. Anyone interested may contact me to discuss TTI's process and findings.

Snagged this off a Census Bureau Press release...
2010 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates* — The U.S. Census
Bureau will release findings from the 2008-2010 American Community
Survey, the most relied-on source for up-to-date socioeconomic
information every year. The release covers more than 40 topics, such as
educational attainment, income, health insurance coverage, occupation,
language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry and selected monthly
homeowner costs. The estimates are available in detailed tables for the
nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every
congressional district, every metropolitan area, and all counties and
places with populations of 20,000 or more. (Estimates will be embargoed
Oct. 25 for release Oct. 27.)

I've been asked whether the ACS, or another readily available data source, provides labor force status for persons 14-18. My understanding is that ACS does not include this data, that labor force information is only collected for the population 16 and older. Am I correct? All suggestions and comments would be helpful.
Thanks
