Am I the only user having chronic problems with data.census.gov? After nearly a year of constant attempts at use and self-training, my personal experience is that data.census.gov is capricious, inconsistent, and inadequate. The potential is (probably) there but to my view it's not yet ready for prime time - yet it is the only way you can access the 2018 ACS. American Factfinder is going away in a matter of months, so soon the shaky and unstable data.census.gov system will be all that we have. Perhaps there's some magic bullet I have yet to find. Or an alternative that provides the professional reliability the data community needs. API? Can anybody in the data community offer insights? Thanks!

[CTPP] 2020 Participant Statistical Areas Program... continued

by Graham

Hi friends— Some of you have been involved in Census Geog activities. Some of you have not. FYI, this week Census Geog has blasted out announcements of the verification & sign-off phase of PSAP (for Tracts, Block Groups, CDPs, etc. etc.). Many of you will see an email like the one below (scroll down). This went to a long list of governments and stakeholders. This email says: PSAP Verification phase is now begun. Wraps up in April. Contact your “primary participant responsible” if you have issues. Kind of a bewildering email = sure to generate some questions. Things to know: 1. Census Geog’s objective now is simply verification & sign-off, confirming the Tract and BG shapefiles submitted last year. This phase is not an opportunity to bring up new requests. Sorry. 2. You can find out who is your “primary participant responsible” by visiting here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html#pa… 3. New this week, there is a new series of YouTube videos about PSAP Verification and navigating the GUPS/PSAP website. Find the videos here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx_K2VFVRho That’s what I know. Hope it helps. If you have questions about any of that don’t call me. Instead call on Census Geog Dept: geo.psap(a)census.gov<mailto:geo.psap(a)census.gov> or 1-844-788-4921 Happy Tracting! --Todd Graham Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities From: U.S. Census Bureau <GEO.PSAP(a)census.gov> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2020 11:05 AM Subject: 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program – Verification Phase Announcement 01/15/2020 FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR DECENNIAL CENSUS PROGRAMS Dear PSAP Participant: Your government/organization expressed interest in providing input to the statistical geographies reviewed and updated as part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The PSAP verification phase materials were provided to the primary PSAP participant in January 2020 for review to determine if corrections are needed. Corrections must be completed within 90 calendar days from receipt of the verification phase announcement. To provide input, please contact the primary PSAP participant responsible for the review and corrections of the statistical geographies for your area. Locate the information regarding the PSAP verification phase and/or the primary PSAP participant on the PSAP website at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.censu…> or contact the Census Bureau PSAP team by email at geo.psap(a)census.gov<mailto:geo.psap(a)census.gov> or by phone at 1-844-788-4921 for that information.

Apologies for cross-posting. The goal of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 08-123 is to build a census data guide for transportation applications.

The diversity of stakeholders at the TRB Annual Meeting who can provide insights on integrating census data into their analytical toolkits is an opportunity to make this NCHRP research product more robust and useful to a wide audience.
