[CTPP] RE: Update on Census Urbanized Areas

by Nancy Reger

Thank you Elaine. This is really important to us. We have taken a stab at mapping the boundary as we have a rural transit district that is concerned that the Columbus UA would connect with Delaware City's UA and affect their funding status- Nancy Nancy Reger, AICP Deputy Director, Transportation Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission 111 Liberty St, Ste 100, Columbus OH 43215 P: (614) 233-4154 /E: nreger(a)morpc.org -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Elaine.Murakami(a)dot.gov Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 2:19 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] Update on Census Urbanized Areas Hi Everyone -- On Tuesday, April 19, 2011, there was an internal FHWA/FTA web-meeting on Census-related issues that Ed Christopher put together.

RE: [CTPP] Census Vacant Structure Determination

by Patty Becker

Thanks, Pete, for mentioning the under construction issue. That's definitely also a concern. They used to call it something like "sheltered from the elements," meaning that the roof was up and the windows were in. I also agree that there are big problems with the postal vacancy survey. I've never used those data because I don't trust them, plus they were delivered at the zip code level which is really too large to be of any use in a multi-zip code city. In past censuses, when the bureau claimed to provide "characteristics of vacancies" I never trusted those data either, again because collecting that information is not the decennial census' primary missing. In turn, this means that "vacant for sale" and "vacant for rent" are shaky concepts. Add to that the more modern problem of condos which are sometimes occupied by their owners and sometimes on the vacation rental market...! Impossible to classify.

[CTPP] Census Vacant Structure Determination

by Adam Aull

Hello everyone. I am in need of information regarding how the Census Bureau determines the status of vacant structures. Our city has a vacant structure ordinance in place. This ordinance dictates that property owners register their buildings with the city planning department. How does the Census determine which structures are vacant? Thanks for the help.

[CTPP] Census 2000 urban areas

by Brian J. Morton

Background... I am the Principal Investigator for a new project (NCHRP 25-36), funded by the Transportation Research Board, to investigate the land use-transportation interactions in small areas and rural areas in the U.S. (A brief description of the project is available at: http://144.171.11.40/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=2987. I am working closely with Joe Huegy at North Carolina State University. The Project Officer is Nanda Srinivasan.) One of our first tasks is to develop a typology of those areas, for the specific purpose of guiding development and application of the empirical methods that we will use to quantitatively characterize those interactions. Of course, an excellent starting point for our work on the new typology is the Census Bureau's delineation of Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters based on the 2000 Census. Question... Where may I find the codes for the 24 Urban Clusters that consist entirely or predominantly of persons living in institutional group quarters, to which the Census Bureau draws attention in its Federal Register notice about the proposed urban area criteria for the 2010 census? See 75 FR 52178. Thanks Brian J. Morton -- /Brian J.

[CTPP] CTPP Tables containing decimals and suspicious MOEs

by Weinberger

Hi All, We have released updates for every table that contains decimal places because we were showing incorrect Margins of Error (MOE) values for these. This was due to a rounding problem that converted any value less than 1 to 0, and also left incorrect numbers in any decimals for numbers greater than one. For example, look at table 12230. Previously all the MOE values were suspect.
