Urban Areas Urban Areas

Urbanized Areas (50,000+)
circa 1950

Urban Clusters (2,500 to 49,999)

circa 2000 http://rtc.ruralinstitute.umt.edu/

Where are we with Urban Areas? Getting Closer

Criteria Finalized in Fed Reg (Sept. 2011)
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/ua/2010urbanruralclass.html

List of UAs (Early 2012) TIGER/Line shapefiles for UAs (Spring 2012) Data SF1 Urban/Rural--later in the year

Proposed vs actual UA Criteria

o Use of Tracts as Analysis Unit (Initial Phase) o Reducing Jumps from 2.5 miles to 1.5 o Use of a National Land Cover Data Base o Changing Airport threshold from 10K to 2,500 enplanements o Eliminating the Central Place Concept o Establishing Minimum pop living outside of group quarters o Splitting Large Areas o Naming Criteria
Comments were due November 22, 2010

Splitting and Merging Large Areas

Some Questions for you

Are there any anticipated NEW Urbanized Areas? New MPOs Any areas expected or reach or fall below 200,000 people? New TMAs Any areas expected to fall below 50,000? Is the MPO size threshold even an issue?

American Community Survey In 2005 the Long Form was replaced

Generally Familiar with it?

What is the ACS?

Continuous Survey Methodology 250,000 Households sampled per month About 1 in 40 Households sampled per yr Response rates are lower than Long Form Same transportation questions as 2000 Long Form
Place of Work Means of Transportation to Work Carpool Occupancy to Work Departure Time for Work Travel Time to Work Vehicles Available

Data Comes out Annually

PUMAs? -- What are they? Public Use Microdata Sample

Standard Tabs

ACS Sample

PUMS Records

PUMS data is based on individual census records and is available only at large geographic areas. Think of the PUMS dataset as the raw, disaggregate census sample data, at a large enough geographic level necessary to protect the confidentiality of the census respondent.

PUMAs are the zones used for PUMS data

22

Why are PUMAs Important?

NE Illinois (2008 pop estimate)

Normal ACS Annual Data

Annual Data 65K+ Note the areas in gray We call this Swiss Cheese

Chicago

23

Why are PUMAs Important?

NE Illinois (PUMAs)

PUMAs are a Tabulation Area for Annual ACS Data

Represent 100K Complete Coverage Smaller than some Counties NO Swiss Cheese

24

How many PUMAs should this area have?

Why are PUMAs Important? - Defines areas for analysis - Tabulation Area for ACS Who Defines Them? - The Community - Led by State Data Center When are They Defined? - Starting Sept 2011
2,896,016 (2000 Pop) City of Chicago 2000 PUMAs

25

PUMA criteria

Nest within states or equivalent entities

Contain at least 100,000 persons Are built on counties and census tracts

Cover the entirety of the United States, Puerto

Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

(PUMA delineations are subject to population thresholds and building block geography)

Are contiguous

3-year CTPP Product Summary

Highlights
Based on CTPP2000 Tables Many NEW Univariate Tables More Age Tables Streamlined Race Tables More HH and HH Lifecycle Tables More English Proficiency Tables Way more Flows Tables

Low Lights
Incomplete Coverage Rounded Reduced Number of Crosstabs with Mode
-- Travel time -- Household income -- Vehicle availability -- Age -- Time leaving home

Tables will have Suppression

-- Means based on 3 values -- 3 records in Flow

Large MOEs (@ 90%)

Number 7
States and MPOs just finished creating their custom geography (TAZs and TADs) to be used for the 5-year data product
Who did TAZs? TADS? How did the process go? Where your TAZs returned for verification failures?

36

Number 8
A critical CTPP related research (NCHRP) study is just wrapping up

NCHRP 08-79 Producing Transportation Data Products from the American Community Survey that Comply with Disclosure Rules

37

Some of the diclosure rules

Cell Means and aggregates require 3 unweighted records For Pt 3 Flow Tables: 3 unweighted records for each table, each cell, with the exception of the 1-way Means of Trans. table 3 unweighted records for the marginal's in any cross-tabulation with Means of Trans.

8-79 Summary using 3-year Table list

Tables Using Perturbed Data Set

Means of transportation Aggregate Vehicles Used Aggregate Travel Time Mean HH Income Aggregate HH Income Aggregate Carpools Almost all Part 3 Tables

Number 9
The request for the 5-year tables is being reviewed at the Census Bureau

Requires Disclosure Proofing

40

Table Request Process

CTPP Oversight Board and others Identified Tables (Summer 2011) AASHTO sent request to CB (Sept 2011) CB reviews and responds with a price and conditions Production Begins Tables submitted to AASHTO Packaging Begins (Early 2013) Users get data (Sometime in 2013)
41

Number 9 5-year Geography and Flows

Asymmetrical Flows Small Areas defined by MPOs in MPO areas and States Elsewhere Tracts are Defaults for Small Areas Default TADs by AASHTO
Just added to list: Local small area to TAD and vice versa
