Re: [CTPP] Default Selections in FactFinder?

by Kevin Garcia

Hi Nancy, Thanks for the reply. I'll give your suggestion a shot. (And forgive me for not responding sooner. I send the CTPP listserv stuff to a special folder and don't always check it in a timely manner.) Best wishes, Kevin KEVIN GARCIA | DATA RESOURCES PLANNER [cid:image001.jpg(a)01CDED7F.01415220] 6100 Southport Rd, Portage, IN 46368 P (219) 763-6060 x125 F (219) 762-1653 E kgarcia(a)nirpc.org From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Gemignani, Nancy Sent: Friday, December 21, 2012 11:13 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: Re: [CTPP] Default Selections in FactFinder? I apologize because you may get this response twice - I sent one with an attachment but it was too big and won't be sent without the moderator. So here's a slightly different version: My suggestion is that you create a Query with the geography you normally select then just load that query when you need it. For a demo of this, look at pages 14-15 on my AFF presentation at http://www.dof.ca.gov/research/demographic/state_census_data_center/meeting…. You have to select a table so pick something small like P1 in the 2010 Census so it will upload quickly and you have a better chance of including all of your geographies. When you load the query, it will open the table with your geography, click on ""Back to Search" and you will see that the geography is in the "Your Selections" box and now you can select the dataset and table. Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone, Do any of you know whether there is a way to set default geography selections in FactFinder? I bet a lot of us use the same geographic selections for a lot of our searches; I think it would useful if whenever we go to FactFinder, these geographies would be selected so we could just look up our tables and go. It's a pain to pull some data, process it, and go back to FactFinder only to find yourself timed out and needing to reselect your geographies. If anyone knows of a way to avoid this, please let me know. I've suggested through the "Feedback" link on FactFinder that they develop a way to set default geographies (and added the caveat that if this is already possible, it's not readily apparent how to go about setting them). I welcome any feedback. Thanks!

Please remove me from your mailing list. Thank you.

Although this project used CTPP 2000, I thought it was interesting. They analyzed MSAs with population over 500,000. They categorized the MSAs into 3 groups by population size (500,000 to 1,000,000 ; 1 - 5 million; and all MSAs). They found "no relationship between the strength of the CBD (employment) and transit ridership" and found that service frequency was the most strongly related to transit commute mode share. Since the 2006-2010 CTPP should be out in the next several months, this analysis could be re-done with more recent data! To define CBDs, they started with census tracts defined in the 1982 Census of Retail Trade and then modified based on local consultation.
