Hi All,
A free training session is offered by AASHTO and FHWA on the Census
Transportation Planning Package (CTPP), and sponsored by the
Shasta Regional Transportation Agency
There are just a few slots left!
What: Free CTPP training
When: Monday February 10, 2014 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Where: Shasta College Downtown Redding Campus – Room 8113, 1400 Market Street, Redding, CA 96001
RSVP email to Sean Tiedgen: stiedgen(a)srta.ca.gov by Thursday, February 6, 2014. Space is limited! Only 14 seats remaining and will be filled on a “first come, first serve”
The CTPP is a set of special tabulations designed by transportation
planners using data from the Census Bureau. The most current release of
CTPP data comes from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS)
sample, and includes data from small geographic units such as census
tracts and transportation analysis zones (TAZs).
The CTPP is a unique census product providing data relating to the
journey to work, including travel mode, number of household vehicles,
demographic variables, employment status, income and poverty
information, life cycle, and many other characteristics. Data tables
for home and work locations, and worker flow (home-to-work) are
available. A rough agenda for the full-day training session is below:
● Introductions and welcome
● Introduction to the CTPP
● ACS questionnaire: paper exercise
● Data issues
● Break
● Data issues continued
● Find the CTPP table: paper exercise
● Lunch
● Software tour
● Profile exercise: software exercise
● Results of profile exercise
● Wrap up
Computers will be provided.

Thanks Ed and Liang,
I had understood that Steve was trying to get adult "daytime" female
population by census tract. The WAC data appears to have both some age
group stratifications and gender. I meant to ask about the use of the LEHD
data as a question to see how it compares with the CTPP/ACS approach. With
previous experience we have found that the gender fields do not sum to the
total employment values, so there is missing data in the LEHD also. But,
could it be a more complete dataset and could it give a better estimate?
Has anyone else checked this for other areas?
Also, although the age groups are 29 and younger, 30 to 54, and 54 and
older, could it be assumed that most of the employees, even in the 29 and
younger age group could be classified as "adult" ?
Thanks!
Bob

I didn't manage to send my response last night. I suggest you use the ACS PUMS
To run a 4-way cross tab of industry and occupation by age and sex. The geography is limited to residential geography at Puma level.

Hi, Steve
Your methodology is totally fine with me.
I wish we had the cross table of sex by age for workers for both Part 1 and Part 2, so you can get measures of female workers for 40 years up.

Subject: [CTPP] female daytime population
We are trying to come up with an estimate of adult “daytime” female population for each census tract in Salt Lake City.
Intuitively, for a census tract, A, this estimate is: (the number of women who have a workplace in A) plus (the number of women live in A) minus (the number of working women who live in A).
>From the 5-year CTPP, we will use tables A20211, A101203, and A11600 for the three terms in the above calculation. We will only calculate the measure for women 16 years and older (although ideally we’d like to have a measure for just 40 years and up).
Can anyone from this list provide me with feedback about this methodology? Are there any big issues that I need to be aware of? Is there a better way to be doing this?
In the end, we would like a daytime measure of the female population in order to calculate mammography accessibility metrics.
Many thanks for your comments.

I hope you're going to aggregate those tracts into some larger areas,
because the margins of error on these estimates are going to be
astronomical. Most tracts have fairly low workplace numbers because they
are essentially residential and only have local businesses/schools/churches
providing employment. Tracts with really large employment counts often have
few residents, e.g. airports. Some tracts are low on both, e.g. large
parks. It also depends on how good a job the local area has done at
tracting and retracting every ten years.
Good luck.
