[CTPP] ACS Place of Work Coding Concern

by Charles Baber

In our review of ACS PUMS, we have found what we think is a workplace coding problem and concerned that the coding error will be carried forward into the CTPP. The Census workplace coding problem was identified comparing change in employment estimates between 2000 and 2010 from BEA and BLS compared to Place of Work (POW) coding in Census long form/ACS over the same 10 year period. 2000-2010 BEA 2000-2010 BLS 2000 Census to 2010 ACS Baltimore City -13.4% -13.8% +3.9% Baltimore County +13.3% +2.2% It is important to understand that Baltimore City is an Independent City and is NOT included in Baltimore County. Baltimore City is a county-equivalent. We are wondering if other metropolitan areas are finding results using the ACS workplace coding that are divergent from other employment sources. We are wondering if our problem is mostly due to the city and county having the same name, or if there is some other issue. Detail results from the Baltimore MPO trend analysis follows. The Baltimore MSA in 2010 contained 2.7 million persons within six political subdivisions (five counties [Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard] and one independent city [Baltimore City]). All six political subdivisions have a 2010 population in excess of 100,000, allowing for designation of Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) within each political subdivision for the Baltimore MSA. Our concern in POW coding relates to Baltimore County and the independent City of Baltimore. (Baltimore City is NOT an incorporated City within Baltimore County. Residents of Baltimore City are NOT residents of Baltimore County. The independent City of Baltimore’s political status is equivalent to a county.) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) nonfarm annual estimates for employment within Baltimore City was reported to have decreased 13.8% (408.4 to 352.0 thousand jobs) between 2000 and 2010. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) table CA25N was used to estimate employment within the Baltimore region’s six political subdivisions. BEA reported a -13.4% reduction in Baltimore City employment between 2000 and 2010. Job growth between 2000 and 2010 was estimated at 13.3% for Baltimore County. An analysis of the 2000 decennial Census long form and 2010 ACS POW coding report contradicting trends compared to those reported in the BEA and BLS estimates. Census 2000 to 2010 POW trend seems reasonable compared to the BEA trend for Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford and Howard Counties. Baltimore County POW coding results in a 3.9% growth in Census reported primary job locations and Baltimore City Census POW coding results in a 2.2% growth in reported primary job locations. Our concern is that during the review of addresses that do not geocode automatically Baltimore City is receiving Baltimore County reported primary POW locations. We are hoping other urban area analysis of Census POW coding can help focus further analysis. We feel there is an allocation/gecoding issue but are unsure if the error is related to Baltimore City’s status as an independent city or confusion in having a county and city with the same name. Looking forward to hearing from others on analysis of POW coding. Charles M.

[CTPP] Applications Conference Evaluation

by Andrew Rohne

I apologize for sending this out to lists that probably have a lot of people that did not attend the conference. However, for those that DID attend, if you haven't completed an evaluation of the conference, we'd really appreciate your feedback. Please go to the conference website at http://www.trbappcon.org/survey.aspx and let us know how we can make the next conference better and what we're doing well (so we can keep doing it). We do read all of these and have made changes in each conference based on these evaluations. Thanks! Andrew Rohne TRB Planning Applications Committee Webmaster -- Andrew S.

Re: [CTPP] Census 2010 - student count ?

by hprawiranata mitcrpc.org

Everyone, thank you for your reply. Like I said, we have treated MSU campus differently (special generators), we have all data on students and faculties and we have mapped their movements too (student origin and class location and time, faculties/staff home addresses to buildings), parking lots, commuter lots, and student parking permits. I have not looked into group quarters data, just downloaded it. CB put this number not in the correct block group, some block groups are correct, 3 block groups covered student residences, but others are a mixed between city housings with student housings. Big campus block group (I aggregated) has 16 houses and 861 people, found out a block of resident hall with population 818 slipped into this block group. I'm asking this question to know how many people encounters funny number on census data and probably expand this issue to the implications (can ~10k population be considered as a constant in population projection (i think so)?, business/employment (student employment) or traffic impact affected by this population... for 3 months it disappears..

Re: [CTPP] Census 2010 - student count ?

by Ali Bonakdar

I was wondering if you knew that the Census counts dormitory population as Group Quarters, the same as prison population, army barracks, manors and so forth..

It may be that all the dorms got geocoded to the University's residence hall office. Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Extremely annoying!
