by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

http://www.bts.gov/press_releases/2011/dot166_11/html/dot166_11.html One of the winners uses ACS of bike commuters. When I have time later today, I am going to check some of the results, because it is showing Idaho in the darkest color shading for % bike commuters.

RE: [CTPP] [Fwd: Persons per household by Housing Type in American Community Survey]

by liang.long＠dot.gov

Dividing B25033 (Total Pop in units in structure) by B25044 (Units in Structure) will give you average household size by units type. CTPP 2006-2008 also provides a table (Table 14210) household size by household unit type at county level. ________________________________ From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] on behalf of Vinod Sandanasamy [VSandanasamy(a)palmbeachmpo.org] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 6:43 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] [Fwd: Persons per household by Housing Type in American Community Survey] Table B25024 provides units in structure and has fields like single unit attached, detached, mobile home, etc. I am assuming that you are requiring this data for modeling purposes.

[CTPP] On the topic of Census-related training

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - One of the things I mentioned at the Dec 19 webinar on Data Ferrett and AFF2 was our recorded session from 2009, on using IPUMS to run customized tables using the ACS PUMS. In addition to tables, IPUMS allows you to save recodes for variable values, and run regression and logit regressions. The webinar is archived and available at the AASHTO CTPP page: http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/webinardirectory.aspx Here is the link to the Census Bureau page on PUMAs (the geographic unit tied to PUMS). Each PUMA must have a minimum of 100,000 population. Currently, these are the "2000" era PUMAs. The new PUMAs using 2010 Census are "in progress," so data products do not yet use these new geographic units. http://www.census.gov/geo/puma/puma2010.html Also, for novice Census and ACS data users, you might want to direct them to these e-learning modules http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/elearningmodules.aspx The set is not yet complete, but they are a good introduction to ACS and CTPP.

[CTPP] Recorded webinars on Census Bureau data ferrett and AFF2

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday's webinar. We covered a LOT of material, so you may want to review some of it again! Thank you especially to Michelle Jiles from the Census Bureau for conducting the training. Please note that in addition to LISTENING and WATCHING these archived sessions, there are MANY useful files in the "download" boxes. You can access these boxes through the recording and download the files to your computer. For example, Michelle Jiles' ppts with notes are available, and may help you walk through a Data Ferrett or AFF2 session. Also, "cheat sheets" for AFF2 and Data Ferrett are included - these are very brief handouts that point you to key words and boxes on the screens. >From one of the initial polls on Dec 19, only one-third had attended the Oct 11 session. If you are a NEW AFF2 user, I highly recommend that you view the October 11 session FIRST. http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p7jwygl9e2l/ <http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p7jwygl9e2l/> Dec 19 session on Data Ferrett GO TO MINUTE 12, as we have not yet edited the file. http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p79zmtvx89g/ <http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p79zmtvx89g/> .
