[CTPP] 2020 Census PSAP GUPS, Webinar, and Pre-plans

by Kathleen Yu

Hello everyone, My name is Kathy Yu and I am part of the NCTCOG MPO, which is the 2020 Census PSAP PPO for our 16-county area in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I learned that not everyone has been receiving information about the GUPS Software download, webinar information, and shapefile pre-plans, so I am providing links that I know of here. Please post to the listserv with any follow-up questions or information. GUPS Software download: I received the following information from my Census District office. GUPS software for PSAP (GUPS.zip) is now available here<https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/gups/>. Please make sure to review Item 1.1 of the attached FAQ which mentions resolution of an issue with non-administrators trying to use the GUPS Plug-In. Webinar: They have posted Census GUPS Webinar Dates under the "Training Webinar Information" link on the following page: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html I would suggest that you cc your district office on your email to reserve a webinar. I guess my email to reserve a webinar was sent to spam, so I needed someone to intercede on my behalf. Documentation: (Attached) PSAP_FAQ.docx - PSAP FAQ developed by our district office (I believe Item 1.1 in here was developed from our experience in trying to allow Non-Administrative Users be able to use the Plug-In.) I also have a 2020CensusPSAP_GUPSGuide.pdf but it is 24 MB. Can anyone suggest a way to make this available to the listserv? Shapefile/Pre-Plan downloads: 1. 2020 Census pre-plans (18v3): https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/ (Refer to FAQ 1.2 for naming convention) 2. 2020 proposed tract changes (in tabular format) can be downloaded here<https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/partnerships/psap/2020proposed_tract_chang…>. 3. Most up to date 2010 geographies (18v2). https://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/ (Refer to FAQ 1.2 for naming convention) Some quirks that we have experienced so far: 1. Need to copy files from administrator's User files to get the plug in for a user with no administrative privileges 2. Cannot share projects folders between users easily. If a second user tries to use the same folder, it asked to delete the previous projects. You can export and import project.zip files. 3. I expected that the pre-plan tracts and block groups would appear under working county in the layers, and the 2010 shapefiles would appear under 2010_geographies, but this is not always the case. I hope this helps. Please let me (or the listserv) know if you have questions or need any additional information which I didn't include. Regards, Kathy ___________________________________ Kathy Yu Principal Transportation System Modeler, Model Development and Data Management North Central Texas Council of Governments Phone: (817) 608-2343 Email: kyu(a)nctcog.org<mailto:kyu(a)nctcog.org>

[CTPP] Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) instructions and data distribution should begin next week

by Graham

During the continuing federal shutdown, a lot of the usual communications channels are out of commission. I am writing to share: 2020 Census staff in regional offices are saying that Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) instructions and data distribution should begin next week, regardless of federal gov shutdown. Multiple sources confirming this. So… If you are a MPO or regional planner who registered for Census PSAP work, watch your snail mail a week from now. The details of the Participant Statistical Areas Program are described here.<https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html> Through the CTPP program, there was a pretty good webinar about PSAP and re-tracting a few months ago Compliments! Find that PSAP webinar and presentation materials here.<https://ctpp.transportation.org/policy-change-on-small-geography/psap-updat…> Good luck.

[CTPP] Fwd: Census Bureau Data and Differential Privacy

by Ed Christopher

I received this today from our friends at IPUMS. Apologies if you already received this. It deals with the Differential Privacy protection that we have been hearing about. Both IPUMS has a report on it (https://assets.ipums.org/_files/mpc/MPC-Working-Paper-2018-6.pdf) and the Census Bureau's Chief Scientist (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.06303.pdf). I pulled the links out for the articles below in case they do come through. As users of Census Data products, this is an issue and area that we all need to understand and be cognizant of. I happen to agree with our IPUMS friends that the procedures will have a large impact on public use data products and could limit the use of microdata, but that is my opinion. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Census Bureau Data and Differential Privacy Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2018 15:04:25 +0000 From: IPUMS <ipums(a)umn.edu> Reply-To: IPUMS <ipums(a)umn.edu> To: edc(a)berwyned.com IPUMS Census and Survey Data *IPUMS Census and Survey Data * Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. IPUMS Dear IPUMS User, The Census Bureau has announced new rules for disclosure control in public use data products, including both ACS microdata and small-area data from the 2020 census. The new policies will have a large impact on public use data products, and could severely limit the utility of microdata and small-area data. I fear that scientists, planners, and the public may lose the free access we have enjoyed to reliable public Census Bureau data describing American social and economic change. Although in the immediate future this will apply only to ACS and decennial census data, the Census Bureau plans to use the same approach for other data products. In the long run, the new rules could also lead to new restrictions on access to data from other agencies. We have prepared a new report <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> on this issue, and I urge you to read it. You may also wish to read the Census Bureau Chief Scientist's perspective on this issue, in a forthcoming article <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. We are in conversations with the Census Bureau about their timeline for these changes and about their plans to engage the research community. We will keep the IPUMS community informed through our social media <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> and a dedicated webpage <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. We will continue to update you as we learn more.
