2009 ACS Single-year Data to be Released this Month
Reminder: Per the schedule we published here last month the Census Bureau has announced that the eagerly-awaited 2009 vintage ACS data summarizing areas
of 65,000 or more population is scheduled for release on Tuesday, September 28.
New MABLE/Geocorr Videos
We have recorded a set of video modules to demonstrate typical and useful ways of using the MABLE/Geocorr geographic web utility.
A link to the video index page has been added to the MABLE/Geocorr web page (look for the  icon at the top of the page).
The page has also undergone some other minor style and content updates.
Population Estimates by Age Update
We have processed the 2009 vintage special-tabulation estimates (created by the Census Bureau for the National Center for Health Statistics)
with "bridged race" single year-of-age data for all counties in the U.S. We use these data as input to our
Population Estimates by Age web application, so you
can now access the detailed demographics for 2009 for any age cohort(s) and break it down by various gender, race and ehthnicity
demographic categories. It lets you generate reports such as this one:
Poptrends Web Application Now Handling 2009 Data
Our poptrends web application (bullet item 5 on our Population Estimates page) has been updated to run with 2009 vintage estimates. Data
are now available for the three "trimesters" of the decade: 2000-2003, 2003-2006 and 2006-2009. This is an extremely useful application.
All About Census Geography and Summary Levels
We have posted a new web document in our All about... series. This one tackles the subject of Census geography and more
specifically Summary Level codes used on census summary files. It has some basics (the Bureau's famous single-page diagram titled
"Census Geography" and a sample Summary Level Sequence Chart) and some other things that may be of interest even to census data veterans -
such as examples of how the Bureau uses different summary level codes for essentially the same thing.
The document's URL is http://mcdc.missouri.edu/allabout/sumlevs/. It is linked
to as the fifth item on our Geography page.
