[CTPP] Interim 2010 product between PL 941171 and SF1 - CTPP

9 Feb 2011

Hello:

Question and a comment.

Question:

Will the Census Bureau produce a "Demographic Profile #1" this spring, for all
places in the US? In spring 2001 (April/May/June, 2001), the Census Bureau produced a
one-page profile based on Census 2000 short form data, kind of like highlights from the
SF1 (not all of the details of SF1, data reported for places, counties, etc., not tracts,
block groups or blocks.) This was an "intermediate" product between the release
of the PL 94-171 files (February, March 2001) and the SF-1 files (summer 2001).

Comment:

One NEW table from the PL 94-171 is a housing units table (total, occupied, vacant units).
This is great! This will allow city planners a very early opportunity to assess the
quality of the short form data for their community.

take care,
