This may be of interest to some of those on this list. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: IPUMS Turns 25! Help us celebrate. Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2018 17:44:54 +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, 25 years ago, on a brisk Minnesota morning in early November, Steve Ruggles and the small but mighty original IPUMS team released their first dataset. The original Integrated Public Use Microdata Series included harmonized versions of the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990 U.S. Censuses. The first download of those data occurred on November 19, 1993. ("We didn't have a lot of traffic in those days," Steve remarked.) Since then, IPUMS has become the world's largest accessible database of census microdata, covering more than 100 countries and over 2 billion records. The team is now more than 100 people, and we've reached more than 100,000 users worldwide. . We are celebrating this milestone — but we need your assistance. If IPUMS has helped you, consider helping IPUMS. Here are a few ways you can participate. *IPUMS25* *Tell us your IPUMS story!* Do you have research that would not be possible without IPUMS data? What's your favorite variable, and why? How has IPUMS played a role in your work? We are gathering IPUMS stories and will share them on Twitter <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> and our blog <https://nhgis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>.

[CTPP] Soliciting Feedback from Users on 2020 Census Data Products, Round 2. Comment by Nov. 8

by Graham

Hi Census power users- This is one of those things that deserves repeating... Census Bureau is asking for descriptions of how you use - and why you need - specific tabulations of the 2020 Census<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2018-15458/p-19>. This input will shape the SF1 and SF2 products that will be available 2+ years from now. They have recently re-opened the comments period. The latest Fed Register Notice<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2018-21837> extends the comments deadline to November 8. Comments have already been submitted by State Data Center agencies from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Mass., Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. You can see everyone's comments here<https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0…>. It's public info! Why your comments matter: Differential privacy protection. The Census Bureau will modify some Decennial SF1 and SF2 tabulations that were previously available - and they could reduce the details available for census blocks (the most detailed, localized geographic level). Unpacking what I've heard about this, I believe the Census Bureau is considering a range of possibilities. They are really asking: * What tables or variables are mandatory and must be precise to the nearest 1 person? * What tables or variables can allow for "perturbing" or "noise infusing" of data cells - typically through block-to-block swapping of individual microdata records - in order to protect privacy? * And what tables that were previously published for census blocks can be "clawed back" - and be tabulated only for larger geographic units. Some background information on differential privacy protection can be found in recent presentations by Census Bureau<https://www2.census.gov/cac/sac/meetings/2018-09/abowd-disclosure-avoidance…>. Give it some thought - and get those comments in.

[CTPP] Reminder: TRB call for posters due 9/20

by Mara Kaminowitz

Dear colleagues, The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you to submit posters for a session focusing on the innovative visualization of Census data. More information is below. *Call Title* *Visualizing the Census: Innovations in Data Display* *Sponsoring Committee* Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) *Call Description* The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you to submit posters for a session focusing on the innovative visualization of Census data. In keeping with theme of our parent committee, topics focusing on transportation planning and urban data are requested. Posters will be displayed at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, January 2019. Authors of the most innovative posters map be invited to present at the subcommittee meeting or have their work displayed on the ABJ30 website. *Background* Visualizing demographic data used to involve simple charts and thematic maps. Now, new platforms and advanced algorithms have pushed the limits of data display. Dashboards and interactive maps allow large volumes of data to be easily digested by users. New methods are being developed to illustrate margins of error and complex statistical concepts. Infographics and mobile applications help bring demographic information of the public. The Subcommittee is interested in learning about new and innovative ways to visualize data. The end product can be a tool or graphic aimed at conveying information to other people, or a visualization that enhances the analytic capacity of your organization. This is also an opportunity to share the challenges and lessons learned from translating complex data into visual and analytic products. *Evaluation Criteria* Posters must incorporate data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Possible data sets include but are not limited to the Decennial Census, American Community Survey, CTPP, LEHD, and the Economic Census. Non-Census data used in conjunction with Census data is acceptable. A broad range of abstracts relating to the topic are welcome. Preference will be given to posters which emphasize the following: - Applying data visualizations to solve complex problems - Creative ways to visualize Census data - Posters that display solutions to the challenges that come from visualizing complex data sets - Posters that use demographic data to improve transportation planning - Topics that address applications towards urban areas A session-development panel will review all abstracts to identify those that most effectively demonstrate innovative ways to visualize Census data. The subcommittee hopes to identify posters representing a diverse array of uses and applications. Applicants will be notified in late October of their selection. *Poster Session Guidelines* Those selected for this session will prepare a poster for presentation at the 2019 Annual Meeting in January. *Participants are not required to prepare a paper.* Each presenter will be provided with a table and a 4' x 8' vertical panel for displaying posters and other materials. An electrical connection will be available at each station. Telephone and *internet connections will not be available.* TRB's guidelines for poster presenters are not yet available, but it is expected that all guidelines once available should be followed. Presenters are expected to register for the TRB meeting and participate in this session. Presentation teams are welcome. *Submission Instructions* A special deadline for submittals has been established. Interested candidates should submit an abstract explaining their project and poster concept by 11:59 pm EDT on *Thursday, September 20, 2018*. The abstract should be no more than a single one-sided page in length (approximately 500 words) and include: - Contact information (name, agency/organization, phone number, email address) - Title of your proposed poster for use in the Annual Meeting agenda - Data sources that your poster will focus on - Explanation of the project, research, or process sets - Any innovative discoveries or lessons learned about visualizing Census data that would be useful to the transportation community - Preliminary description of the information to be conveyed in your poster You are welcome to include links to on-line materials that illustrate the visualization or graphic communication concepts described in your abstract but this will not substitute for the information requested in the abstract. The subcommittee will not consider sales presentations for products or services. Abstracts should be in a PDF format and submitted to: Mara Kaminowitz mkaminowitz(a)baltometro.org Include the term *"ABJ30(1) Poster Abstract 2019"* in the subject line. *For More Information* Questions about the poster session or the abstract submittal process should be directed to: Clara Reschovsky clara.reschovsky(a)dot.gov 202-366-2857 Mara Kaminowitz mkaminowitz(a)baltometro.org 410-732-0500 ___________ *Mara Kaminowitz* GIS Coordinator Baltimore Metropolitan Council *P*: 410.732.0500 x1030 *F*: 410.732.8248 *A*: 1500 Whetstone Way, Suite 300, Baltimore, MD 21230 mkaminowitz(a)baltometro.org | www.baltometro.org Confidentiality Statement This message may contain legally privileged and confidential information that is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
