The 4 workplace-based tables you mention are currently available for the 8 states (and selected areas within them), a special release that was a part of the "Hurricane Katrina" project. The full set of workplace-based tables for various geographic summary levels will be released as "wave 3" -- most likely in mid-January. We are in the process of re-writing the edits and tabulation packages to convert over to the new metro area definitions. And, yes, the new definitions will be used in the 2005 data products, slated for release beginning next August. -- Celia Boertlein "Chuck Purvis" <CPurvis(a)mtc.ca.g ov> To Sent by: "CTPP-News" <ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net> ctpp-news-bounces cc @chrispy.net Subject [CTPP] New 2004 ACS data on 11/21/2005 01:28 American Factfinder: Missing PM Tables? 1. The Census Bureau released the "balance" of the 2004 ACS tabulations on American Factfinder this past Thursday, 11/17/2005. Or so we thought. We're currently wading through the "CTPP Part 1 - like" tables that were just released, but we're concerned about four tables in particular. Can someone at the Census Bureau or USDOT comment on the four tables that are "placeholder tables" in American Factfinder, but don't yet have data? These are the "workplace geography" tables: B08406 Sex of Workers by Detailed Means of Transportation for Workplace Geography B08526 Means of Transportation to Work by Industry for Workplace Geography B08528 Means of Transportation to Work by Class of Worker for Workplace Geography B08534 Means of Transportation to Work by Travel TIme to Work for Workplace Geography Hopefully the data is "coming soon"! 2. A different question about geography in the ACS: when will the Census Bureau convert from the older metropolitan area to the newer metropolitan area definitions? That is, converting from the MSA/PMSA/CMSA geographies to the CBSA/CSA geographies? [My guess is this will change with the release of the 2005 ACS data, next summer, but it would be useful to confirm.] Thanks in advance!
