[CTPP] Hints on using AFF2 for 2010 Census Summary File 1

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - Hope you are having a wonderful summer! Here is a small "helpful hints" document on using American FactFinder 2 with 2010 Census Summary File 1. Hope these 2 handouts are useful to you. Thank you to everyone who helped create and improve them: Linda Clark at the Seattle Regional Office of the Census Bureau, Ed Christopher from FHWA Resource Center, and Liang Long from Cambridge Systematics. You don't have to use Census Bureau's American FactFinder 2. There are other ways to get the Summary File 1 data. The August issue of the CTPP Status Report includes a link to instructions of using the Microsoft Access Table Shell, and the Missouri Census Data Center. We are expecting final approval of the August issue any day now. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

[CTPP] Census population density calculations

by Elizabeth Hassett

Hello all, I am finding discrepancies between population densities that I'm calculating in ArcGIS using Census 2010 population data and the TIGER geography shapefiles (in my case for the county and state level), and population density numbers posted on Census websites. The discrepancy is from the square mileage calculation, in particular. Does anyone know if this is because water bodies are subtracted from the total square mileage for the density calculation (or if there is another reason for the discrepancy)?

[CTPP] Data on Disabled Populations

by Elizabeth Hassett

Hi all, I have not been able to find any data on disabled populations in either SF1 2010 or ACS 2009 5-year data, specifically at the block group and tract levels. Does anyone know if disabled data indeed has not been released within these geographies/datasets? If it has not, does anyone know a good alternative for disabled data? Thank you, Elizabeth Hassett Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council 100 Clinton Square 126 N.

[CTPP] Disability Data

by Elizabeth Hassett

Hi all, I have not been able to find any disability data at the tract-level, either from ACS 2009 5-year data or anything else; does anyone know if disability data is available at the tract-level, and if so, which data set it would be in? Thanks, Elizabeth Hassett Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council 100 Clinton Square 126 N.

[CTPP] RE: If you are interested in CB Urban Areas delineation

by Frank Lenk

We also have the same concern in Kansas City, where a Lee's Summit urbanized area was created mainly because a general aviation airport separated it from the Kansas City urbanized area. The city of Lee's Summit extends both north and south of this airport, so the northern part of the city is in one urbanized area while the southern part is in another. The originally proposed 2010 urbanized area criteria indicated the two areas would be recombined, as they had been in 1990. Most people here would agree that recombining the two provides a more accurate description of the areas pattern of urbanization.

Therefore, we are disappointed and a bit confused by the August 4-5 listserv statements indicating that new criteria may have since been developed. Our policy officials have seen these discussions and are asking us to respond. Can you let us know what is going on with regard to these criteria and perhaps provide the rationale behind keeping the urbanized areas from 2000 (when the other criteria indicate that they should be combined)? Thanks.

We are likewise in the same situation here in Phoenix with the Phoenix-Mesa UA and Avondale UA (created from a split in 2000) being combined. We also provided comment during the public comment period for the Federal Register Notice supporting the agglomeration of the Phoenix-Mesa and Avondale UAs and not keeping the split from 2000. I have an inquiry in to the Geographic Areas and Criteria branch of the Census Bureau in Washington regarding this issue and am waiting to hear back from them. I will be happy to report back any update that I get from them.
