Census 2000 General Demographic Profiles
summarizing such
long-form data items as income;
poverty; educational attainment; disability status; ancestry; labor force
status; commuting to work; home value; rent; and housing costs as a percent of
income were released on May 14, 2002 for
all counties, townships, and places in Northeastern Illinois. NIPC posted

Summary File 3 for Chicago Community Areas on August 20, 2002 and
one for census tracts in northeastern Illinois
on February 7, 2003.)
Very
detailed 60-page Census 2000 demographic profiles containing characteristics on housing, education,
employment, income, poverty,
disability, language, ancestry, migration, and transportation for all counties,

ADDITIONAL CENSUS 2000 RESULTS AND PRODUCTS:
At
long last, Census 2000 results are coming out,
and NIPC is delivering them to our subscribers, local
governments, and other data users as they become available.
It's
been a decade since most communities in Northeastern Illinois have had a
complete count of their population, a detailed inventory of their housing
stock, and an update on the racial diversity and socio-economic
characteristics of their residents.
But
the wait is now over because
the Census Bureau is issuing three major Census 2000
data releases over the next year and a half.
Given our mission and our role as a member of the State Data Center, NIPC
will deliver these census results
in a variety of products and formats including the
Internet, CD-ROMs, diskettes, maps, and printed reports.
The three major Census 2000 data files to be released by the Census Bureau are
as follows:
Public
Law 94-171
(PL94-171)
Redistricting Summary File
The
PL 94-171 release
contains population information used as the building blocks for local
redistricting. Data items include
total population, population tabulated by 63 race categories and
cross-tabulated by Hispanic origin, and voting age population (18 years and
older). Geographic coverage
extends down to the block level. The
PL 94-171 redistricting file will be released on a state-by-state flow basis
in March 2001 and must be out to all states no later than April 1, 2001.
Summary
File 1 (SF 1)
This
file presents selected population and housing
characteristics collected from all people and housing units.
Information
available includes population by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin; number
and types of households; and whether the residences lived in are owned or
rented. Geographic coverage goes
down to the block level for many SF 1 data tabulations, but only down to the
census tract for others. Scheduled
to be released on a state-by-state flow basis in summer 2001.
Summary
File 3 (SF 3)
This will be the first release of data collected from
the sample or long-form questionnaire. Among
the socio-economic characteristics are marital status, ancestry, migration,
educational attainment, disability, labor force status, journey to work,
income, poverty, home value, monthly rent, vehicles available, and year
residential structure built. Geographic
coverage will be down to the block group for many SF 3 tables, but only down
to the census tract for others. The
planned release date for SF 3 information is the summer and fall of 2002.
FORTHCOMING CENSUS 2000 PRODUCTS
NIPC
has designed
several data products
that will be available shortly after the PL 94-171
Redistricting File is released in Illinois next month.
One of them is a Population Profile that summarizes the population by race, Hispanic
origin, and voting age for a single geographic entity in Northeastern Illinois
like county, municipality, or Chicago community area.
Because Census 2000 respondents could for the first time mark more than
one race, the profile looks at the incidence of multi-racial combinations in a
particular area, with an emphasis on displaying the number of biracial
responses.
The
PL 94-171 file
Population Profile is
available in two common digital formats--as either a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet or an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document File (PDF) reproduction of
the same spreadsheet, or as both.
A PDF draft version of a Profile (minus user notes) for
the fictitious village of Beautiful Oaks illustrates the
tables that will be included:
(Note: In order to view this sample profile, you will
need the Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader that is available for free from the Adobe
web site)
Electronic versions
of the Profiles will be available on 3.5" disks, as email
attachments, or online at NIPC's web site (www.nipc.org/PL-Profiles.htm).
Printed versions of the Profiles
will also be available.
Geographic coverage will include the six counties in Northeastern
Illinois, political townships, municipalities, Chicago community areas,
Chicago wards, and Illinois House and Senate Districts.
In
addition to the Profile, NIPC will
be publishing a new document titled Data Bulletin 1-2001: Summary of Census
Public Law Redistricting Data. This will serve as the regional report for
the PL 94-171 census release and will include summaries of population by race
and Hispanic origin for every county, political township, municipality,
Chicago community area, and city of Chicago ward found in Northeastern
Illinois. It will also feature analysis of the population shifts
occurring within our area, along with reference maps and comparisons to data
from previous censuses. It too will be available in a variety of
formats, including online (www.nipc.org/PL-Region-Report.htm).
In
addition, NIPC can
provide PL 94-171 redistricting block data extractions at the political
township and municipal level. The
block data items will be selected tabulations of population by race, Hispanic
origin, and voting age.
Block
data extractions, while free of charge to NIPC subscribers and
contributors, are available on a cost-recovery basis to all other users.
The
block data core product will be a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Because of the file size generated by tabulating and cross-tabulating
block level data, customers are urged to request digital versions of the file
extractions, although every attempt will be made to accommodate the need for
other formats.
HOW
TO REQUEST PL 94-171 DATA PRODUCTS
To
selected PL
94-171 redistricting products,
please print, fill out, and then mail or fax back the request form found
at the bottom of this page.
You can indicate which PL 94-171 Redistricting File
data products you want to receive, in what format and on what media you want
to receive them, and how you would like them to be sent to you. Remember
that if you are NIPC subscriber or local government contributor, you will receive
all the products
free of charge. Non-subscribers and non-contributors pay nothing for the
Profiles but are charged on a cost-recovery basis for block data
extractions. If you are a non-subscriber/non-contributor interested in
obtaining block-level data, please leave a message on the NIPC Census 2000 Hotline at
312-454-0401, x610 and you will be quickly contacted about the cost for your
data request (go to www.nipc.org/subscrip.htm
for information on the other benefits of becoming a NIPC subscriber).
NIPC
will be generating a number of other products relating to the redistricting
file release, including thematic maps and customized data extractions.
For more information on product availability and Census 2000 updates as
they occur, call NIPC's Census 2000 Hotline at 312-454-0401, ext. 610 or check
back here on a regular basis.
OBTAINING REFERENCE MAPS FOR PL 94-171 REDISTRICTING
BLOCK DATA
Understandably,
local governments relying on NIPC for redistricting block data may also want
to obtain block level maps to help them make sense of what the data in the
spreadsheets are telling them. Color
block maps on paper sized 36” x 33” that show the boundaries and names for counties, townships, municipalities, census tracts, block groups,
and blocks, along with voting district boundaries, are currently being printed
by the Census Bureau for sale through their Customer Services Center at
301-457-4100. The cost for each
block map sheet ordered is $5 but local governments must buy the complete set
for the counties in which they are located.
In Northeastern Illinois, with a number of large, densely populated
counties and many municipalities crossing county boundaries, buying complete
county block map sets might not be feasible.
As
an alternative, the Census Bureau anticipates having Adobe Acrobat PDFs of the
block maps on its web site (PL 94-171 County Block Maps)
on a state flow-by-flow basis shortly after the PL 94-171 redistricting data
comes out. Local governments will
have to download an index for the county they are in and then decide which map
sheet PDFs they will also need to download.
After downloading the appropriate PDFs from the Internet, they can
print them out provided they have an E-size postscript-enabled printer or
plotter.
They can also open them in Adobe Acrobat Reader and use its zoom tool
to view the maps in greater detail.
At
about the same time that the Bureau expects to put PDF versions of block
maps online, NIPC should have available ESRI product-compatible municipal
block shapefiles. These digital
shapefiles could be joined with PL 94-171 block level data to generate
reference and thematic maps provided the mapmaker is using such software
packages as ArcInfo, ArcView, or ArcExplorer.
On the request form below, please indicate if you wish to receive from
NIPC the block shapefile for your municipality when available.
