Subject: [CTPP News] Roll up TAZs to Census Block Groups?
Hello CTPP Community,
Even though TAZs were officially retired by the Census Bureau, a lot of folks in the transportation continue to use the geographies (especially those from 2010). Today a colleague at StreetLight asked if it's possible to roll up TAZs into
Census Block Groups. I couldn't recall off the top of my head whether this is possible, and if so, how to do it. It seems to me that TAZ delineation criteria required they nest into Census Tracts, but maybe also into Block Groups?
Any thoughts or guidance on this question would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
