[CTPP] Fwd: [census-bureau-alert] EMBARGOED UNTIL: 12:01 A.M. EST, MARCH 6, 2003 (THURSDAY)

by Patty Becker

This press release came out of the census bureau on Monday. I just now clicked on the link and the page was not accessible. Maybe tomorrow??? It's embargoed until Thursday so that may be the problem. The press can get it through the special press password site.

[CTPP] Waiting Anxiously for County Flow Data

by ed christopher

When your County level flow data does get released (any week now) what will you do? Might I suggest that you begin to get ready for it by preparing a county level trip table with your 1990 data. You can find that data at http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/jtw_workerflow.html. If you haven't already looked at the 1990 data for your area, you might want to do it NOW so you can be better prepared for the 2000 data when it does get released. Although this is only county level data it can still prove to be instructive especially the more counties you have. Three different numbers can be derived. The number of worker flows into an area, the number leaving the area and the number who live and work in the area. When working with this data it is always important to keep in mind what I call the definitional criteria. Some of the key points to understand is that it 1) represents workers 16 years of age and older; 2) does not count more than one work trip per worker. A census work trip consists of the one-way movement from one's place of residence to one's usual place of work. The actual Census question asked, "At what location did this person work LAST WEEK? If this person worked at more than one location, print where he or she worked most last week"; and, 3) assumes all work trips originate at the place of residence. Once the 2000 flows are release they will be posted at the Journey to Work Branch of Population Division at the Census Bureau's web site http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/journey.html To complement your flow data don't forget about the county and statewide data profiles housed on the AASHTO website at http://transportation.org/ctpp. Although this is only the beginning of a much larger data harvest, there is a lot of descriptive information and analysis that can be gleaned from these two sources. Besides it is a good time to begin to understand the nuances and definitional issues associated with the use of the data.

[CTPP] CENSUS NEWS BRIEF

by ed christopher

Subject: Census News Brief #5 From: Terriann2K(a)aol.com Fiscal Year 2003 Funding Finally In Place: ACS Test Sites and Supplementary Survey Will Continue; Legislators Emphasize Accurate Hispanic Subgroup Enumeration and Minority Hiring More than four months into the fiscal year, Congress last week passed a massive spending bill that appropriates funds for non-defense federal agencies through September 30. The House of Representatives approved the Fiscal Year 2003 Omnibus Appropriations bill (H.J.Res. 2) on February 13, by a vote of 338 83; the Senate cleared the measure, by a vote of 76 20, the same day. The omnibus bill includes $554.5 million in new budget authority for the Census Bureau, plus $41.8 million in unspent funds from last year, for a total approved operating level of $596.3 million. The Administration had requested $705.3 million for the Census Bureau in FY03. Periodic Censuses and Programs (Periodics) received $413.3 million (which includes the $41.8 million carry-over), $87 million below the Administrations request. The carry-over will be applied to end-of-cycle Census 2000 activities, including release of Summary File 4 long form data and continued evaluation of census methods. The Periodics account covers decennial census activities, other mandated recurring programs such as the Economic Census, and support operations such as geographic databases and address list development. The bill allocates a total of $146.3 million for 2010 census planning, covering three major initiatives in the planning process: a re-engineered short form-only census; nationwide implementation of the American Community Survey (ACS) to replace the long form; and modernizing the Master Address File (MAF) and digital geographic database (TIGER). Appropriators funded the full request of $41.9 million to re-engineer the 2010 census design through early development and testing. The 2003 National Census Test, a survey of 250,000 households launched earlier this month, is evaluating multiple response options and revised questions on race and Hispanic/Latino origin. The American Community Survey received $57.1 million, roughly the same amount available in Fiscal Year 2002. The overall funding level will allow the Census Bureau to continue testing ACS methodology and operations in 31 sites and the Supplementary Survey, a national annual sample of 700,000 housing units. The Bureau had hoped to launch the ACS nationwide this year, at a cost of $124 million. Appropriators directed that $1 million of the ACS budget be used to evaluate how mandatory versus voluntary response would affect levels of response. The report accompanying the final version of the spending bill acknowledge[s] that sufficient information is not available to weigh the benefits of a mandatory survey versus a voluntary survey. The Census Bureau received $47.3 million to modernize the Master Address File (MAF) and TIGER geographic database, about $4 million less than the budget request. The Bureau has contracted with the private sector to improve the accuracy of street locations and addresses, and to update processing systems. In a report filed by the conference committee that negotiated the final bill, appropriators urged the Census Bureau to address difficulties in gathering accurate information on Hispanic subgroups in the census. In Census 2000, wording changes on the Hispanic/Latino origin question apparently caused confusion and led to underreporting of some large subgroups, including Dominicans and Salvadorans. Conferees also directed the agency to move decisively to improve the representation of minorities in senior management at the Census Bureau and to improve the representation of minorities in all areas of research. The conference report suggests the Presidential Management Intern program and Joint Program on Survey Methodology as two avenues to achieving these goals. The Census Bureaus second main budget account, Salaries and Expenses, received $183 million for FY03, $42 million below the Presidents request. This account funds ongoing demographic, economic, and social statistical programs, such as the Survey of Income and Program Participation. Appropriators directed the Bureau to streamline and prioritize programs to ensure the highest priority core activities are supported and to ensure full reimbursement from other federal agencies for surveys conducted on their behalf.

I have a really basic question: Where do I get a copy of the free CTPP data set CD? Do I go to our metro planning org or to the Census Bureau or DOT? Danielle Cervantes

[CTPP] County-to-county commuters

by Elizabeth Hartmann

I noticed that the TRB website lists February 2003 as the release time for county-to-county commuters. Is this flow data? How is it defined? Also, where will it be released and in what form? Thanks very much! Liz Hartmann Research Analysis Specialist Office of Investment Management, Mn/DOT elizabeth.hartmann(a)dot.state.mn.us
