[CTPP] CTPP Policy changes on small geography

by Weinberger Penelope

Hello CTPP! The Census bureau has proposed criteria for geography for the 2020 census in the Federal Register. The criteria is open for comment until May 16, 2018. Click here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/15 and scroll to Census Bureau for the proposed criteria most relevant to you! (Census Block Groups, Census County Divisions and Equivalent Entities, Census Designated Places, and Census Tracts). The CTPP oversight board strongly urges you to read the notices, respond as appropriate, and get involved in the Participant Statistical Areas Process (PSAP), as custom small geography in the CTPP tabulation will be discontinued after the next tab. Please see attached memo. For info and updates visit: http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/Policy-Change-on-Small-Geography.aspx Penelope Weinberger Transportation Data Program Manager AASHTO

[CTPP] Webinar on Mapping Reliability with ACS Data

by Ed Christopher

This may be of interest to those on this list. [Population Reference Bureau] Update from American Community Survey Data Users Group <http://acsdatacommunity.prb.org/> *Webinar: Mapping Reliability with ACS Data* Join us for a webinar on Mar 08, 2018 from 2:00-3:00 PM EST. *Register now!* https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/261934844984463873 The American Community Survey (ACS) provides data users with unique insights into the socioeconomic characteristics of local populations. Mapping the data is one way to examine differences in characteristics across geographic areas. However, ACS estimates are subject to sampling variability, so reality on the ground may differ from survey results. In this webinar, *Joel Alvarez* and *Joe Salvo* (both with the Population Division, NYC Department of City Planning) will provide guidance in mapping ACS data. They will also demonstrate how to produce statistically reliable maps, using their publicly available Map Reliability Calculator. Their presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. This webinar will be recorded for those who are unable to participate in the live event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

[CTPP] Content changes proposed for the 2019 American Community Survey — and a call for comments

by Graham

Hi CTPP’ers— Many of you are Census-watchers. The post below describes upcoming, 2019 changes to what’s asked on Census ACS questionnaires. (And if you don’t like it, read to the end for details on where to send your comments…) My view: The changes described are all improvements to questions and response categories. If you’re deep involved in SCOP or CTPP subcommittee, you’ll recognize that the updating of “journey to work” modes<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-13> – specifically varieties of public transit – is what the CTPP subcommittee wanted and asked for 3 or 4 years ago. It does take Census Bureau and US OMB a few years to get thru the whole process of adding or revising the questions asked. But they’re now in the home-stretch! Enjoy reading! Cheers, Todd Graham Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2018 9:49 AM To: 'census.sdc.network.list(a)census.gov' <census.sdc.network.list(a)census.gov> Subject: Content changes proposed for the 2019 American Community Survey — and a call for comments Content changes proposed for the 2019 American Community Survey — and a call for comments<http://sdcclearinghouse.com/2018/01/16/content-changes-proposed-for-the-201…> The Census Bureau periodically reviews the content of the American Community Survey (ACS). One aspect is validating that the survey continues to prioritize policy and program information needs. Beyond that, the Bureau works to assess and improve how questions are asked -- including question wording, response categories, and any instructions provided -- in order to capture the most complete and accurate information. In a notice last month, the Bureau describes final changes proposed for the 2019 American Community Survey. The specific changes and new elements have been under consideration for three years or more. And an initial batch of recommended changes was tested through the 2016 ACS content test. The complete review and revision process is documented in section II of the Census Bureau's recent notice. (https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-21 ) For the 2019 ACS, the Bureau proposes question changes or new questions in nine sections of the survey: · Telephone service<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-11>: a redesigned question to collect information on types of telephone service. · Health insurance<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-12>: a new question on premiums paid and any subsidies received. · Journey to work<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-13>: revised question wording and updating descriptions of three types of public transit. · Weeks worked<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-14>: revised question instructions and revision of response levels. · Class of worker<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-15>: revised question instructions, wording, and response categories. · Industry and occupation<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-16>: revised question instructions and wording, in order to elicit better descriptions. · Retirement income<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-17>: revised question instructions and wording, expanding scope of retirement income considered. · Relationship to "person 1"<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-18>: new response categories to clearly distinguish opposite-sex spouses, same-sex spouses, opposite-sex partners, and same-sex partners. · Race and Hispanic origin<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-20>: a streamlined, unified categorization is proposed. At this time, the Census Bureau is seeking the final approvals for the 2019 American Community Survey -- and the Bureau invites public comment. Per the Federal Register notice: "The public is invited to comment on all questions on the ACS; however, the Census Bureau is particularly interested in comments on the wording changes to the nine ACS questions... which are proposed to be changed based on the results of the 2016 ACS Content Test." (https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726/p-24 ) If you wish to comment on the ACS, now is your chance. The easiest options for providing input are: 1. emailing the Department of Commerce (PRAcomments(a)doc.gov<mailto:PRAcomments(a)doc.gov>), or 2. completing the "regulations.gov" online comment form that is linked to the Federal Register notice<https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-26726>. Look for the "Submit a Formal Comment" button. Please expect that the online form will limit the length of your comments. The deadline for comments is February 12, 2018. --Todd Graham For the SDC Steering Committee
