[CTPP] Deep linking for fun and profit

by mkaminowitz＠baltometro.org

Happy Friday, I promised some folks I would post this to the list. Deep linking, which has been mentioned here a few times, is the secret ninja way to navigate around AFF2. It's especially effective if you have set geography that you use consistently, like all tracts in a state. Here is a Census publication on the topic that may be more confusing than helpful at first, but the code lists will be important if you ever get into more advanced deep linking. The persistent URL is standardized in AFF2 and you can basically code your way into the table and geography you want. http://fastfacts.census.gov/home/saff/AFF_deep_linking_guide_v1.1.pdf Here's the fast way to get started. First, navigate AFF2 the standard way to a table of your choice. I am using population for all tracts in Maryland, ACS 06-10, as an example. You will need to get the persistent link for this page. That link is NOT the url in your address bar! To get this link you must bookmark the page using the AFF2 bookmark button, not your browser's bookmark/favorite button. Bookmark the page, go to the Bookmark/Favorite in your web browser, and look at the properties of that bookmark. THAT is the persistent link and in the example above it looks like this: http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/10_5YR/B01003/0400000US2 4.14000 I can use this link to get any table I want for all tracts in Maryland, ACS 06-10 by changing /B01003/ to the correct table. /ACS/10_5YR/B01003/ is, as you might guess, your product, data set, and table. You can change these to many different options but make sure they agree with each other. /ACS/09_5YR/B01003/ will get me the same as above only for the 05-09 estimates. /DEC/10_SF1/P#/ Gets you into the most recent decennial Census data. The end numbers control the geography. I am still working on understanding that, as the format and length depends on exactly what geography and combinations you are using. I am working on decoding it better and will post a graphic or tutorial when I do. Happy linking, Mara Kaminowitz GIS Analyst .........................................................................

Re: [CTPP] does anyone know when the 2010 Urban Area boundaries will be released

by Ed Christopher

Mike--Thanks for clarifying this for us. Any way of knowing when in March this may hit?

People can use those shapefiles to make maps for each urban area, or to map in a GIS. We also will release the list of urbanized areas and urban clusters, along with the total population of each urban area. We also will provide other information about each urban area, such as land area and population density.

Re: [CTPP] Question about Poverty Threshold Base year 1982

by Jonathan Lupton

Mr. Aryal: It's just a guess, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics bases its current CPI on the period 1982-1983. There's probably a link.

It might be related to the consumer price index from BLS. The current base year(s) for the CPI is a 1982-1984 average annual.

Re: [CTPP] does anyone know when the 2010 Urban Area boundaries will be released

by Ed Christopher

I am not sure when we first started hearing about the accelerated schedule, movign from October of 2012 to earlier in the year but here is something that was in our Listserve Archive as recent as August. It is a link to one of the posts from Census Geography telling us about the Tiger files release with UA boundaries. It states, "Census Bureau plans on releasing the 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefiles with the 2010 Census urban area boundaries in the Spring of 2012" http://ryoko.chrispy.net/pipermail/ctpp-news/2011-August/005773.html Gemignani, Nancy wrote: > According to the Census2010 release schedule at > http://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2010/glance/index.html, the > Urban/Rural Update to Summary File 1 will be released in October 2012. > The Geography Update also gives this date for the UA/Urban Cluster > Reference Maps. > > > > *Nancy Gemignani* > > California State Census Data Center > > Demographic Research Unit > > (916) 327-0103 ext 2550 > > > > *From:* ctpp-news-bounces(a)ryoko.chrispy.net > [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)ryoko.chrispy.net] *On Behalf Of *Nancy Reger > *Sent:* Friday, January 20, 2012 9:08 AM > *To:* ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net > *Subject:* [CTPP] does anyone know when the 2010 Urban Area boundaries > will be released > > > > Does anyone know when the 2010 Urban Area boundaries will be released? > > > > Nancy Reger, AICP > > Deputy Director, Transportation > > MORPC > > 111 Liberty St. Ste. 100 > > Columbus, Ohio 43215 > > nreger(a)morpc.org <mailto:nreger(a)morpc.org> > > 614-233-4154 > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > ctpp-news mailing list > ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net > http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443
