This just came out from the Census Bureau PR shop. It looks like the API will be out in July. I know this is causing a lot of excitement in our community and Elaine Murakami has talked about putting a webinar together on APIs. If anyone in our community has some API experience and would like to help with a webinar feel free to let me, or Elaine (Elaine.Murakami(a)dot.gov) know. ----------------- Census Application Programming Interface (API) — The Census Bureau is releasing its first-ever API. This online service provides the building blocks for developers to design online and mobile apps, such as interactive maps, charts and databases, using a variety of Census Bureau statistics. The API provides statistics down to the neighborhood level (tracts and block groups) from the 2010 Census Summary File 1 and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. With these two datasets available in the form of an API, database editors and other developers have easier access to a wide variety of timely, localized information, including population totals, age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, home ownership, education, income, employment, commuting and occupation. The API is currently undergoing beta testing and is scheduled for public release in July. More information about the API can be found at <http://www.census.gov/developers/>. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443

[CTPP] 2000 Urbanized Area

by Dickson

Hello, Maybe someone out there can help me. I am trying to find the 2000 Census Urbanized Area shapefiles so we can do a comparison of the 2000 vs. 2010 urbanized area boundaries. I have been searching all over the Census website and they have had great success in hiding this data from view. If anyone out there has the link to where you can download the 2000 urbanized area boundaries I would greatly appreciate it!

[CTPP] Census Single Family, Multi Family, & Auto Ownership

by John Voges

1. The 2010 census doesn't directly contain the information needed to determine single family and multi family dwelling units. A better indicator is the use of parcel data along with 911 data to determine single family and multi family dwelling units. 2. The 2010 census didn't collect the auto ownership data that was collected in 2000. However, the use of the DHSMV data will get you the exact auto ownership by address. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 16:36 To: ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net Subject: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 101, Issue 6 Send ctpp-news mailing list submissions to ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ctpp-news-request(a)ryoko.chrispy.net You can reach the person managing the list at ctpp-news-owner(a)ryoko.chrispy.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ctpp-news digest..."
