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

by Don Cooper

I realize that the specific criteria will be published in the FR. However, do we know whether any non-population-density criteria were included in the final criteria? Other than the airports that were used the last time around.

[CTPP] More on PUMA delineation (Sept 2011 thru Jan 2012)

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

http://www.census.gov/geo/puma/puma2010.html The Census Bureau just updated their PUMA webpage with LOTS of information, including a link to the State Data Centers. The current plan is that the SDCs will get the PUMA software from the CB (via ftp download) in September, and will have until "early January" to return the files to the Census Bureau Geography Division. The SDCs are encouraged to work with local agencies. They are not required to do so. We hope that State DOTs and MPOs will take the initiative to talk to their SDCs to work on PUMA delineation. As you know PUMAs are now a tabulation geography, particularly important for ACS tabulation. The software is a new module of the MTPS software, so for those of you who just completed TAZ delineation, you will already be familiar with it. By the way, the Census Bureau has received all the files from TAZ participants, and Caliper is completing TAD delineation for some of the areas that delineated TAZs but NOT TADS. TADs will be a nationwide (complete) coverage at the 20,000 population level (with a very very few exceptions). At this point in time, TADs are a "custom geography" for the CTPP program, and not used for standard ACS products. Elaine

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

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

There are 2 different things: 1. One is GEOGRAPHY: The list of Urban Areas, including Urbanized Areas (over 50,000 population) is a list of Place names and a population count. In the Fall 2012, the TIGER file will have a boundaries of those areas. 2. One is TABULATION: Urban/Rural update is probably a TABULATION of 2010 Census results.

Perhaps someone can comment. Has the date changed or is Urban area delineation different from "Urban/Rural Update"? Let me explain: In June, 2012, I spoke to the general information line (1-800-932-8282) at the Census Bureau about the scheduled release of the urban - rural data set for the 2010 Census. The then project release date was shown on the is October of 2012 as "Urban/Rural Update" found at this location: http://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2010/glance/ There was no anticipated change to the schedule at that time. The schedule as predicated on the attached sheet was being followed. According to the Census Bureau staff, there was no anticipated reason for the schedule to change at this time. Please advise if the timeline has changed or if Urban area delineation is not the Urban/rural update?

RE: [CTPP] information on average commuter travel time in the U.S.

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

In the NHTS Summary of Travel Trends, page 13, the average person trip length for "to/from work" is 11.8 miles (that would be ONE way, not round trip). There is some difficulty in analysis because of trip chaining, so when someone goes from work-to-shop-to-home, this would not be measured in miles as a work to home trip. http://nhts.ornl.gov/index.shtml This page has a link to the pdf of Summary of Travel Trends. By the way, what Liang Long was referring to was the NHTS on-line table generator. It is also accessible from the NHTS main webpage. After you register, you can easily tabulate (1-way, 2-way, 3-way cross tabs, with subsetting) many variables without having to do any programming. Then, you can output as a spreadsheet or html.
