AP -
DemographicsNow is a good source for the Census 2000 data released to date
if you need the data right away. It offers Census 2000 reporting and
mapping all via the web. However, it does not allow you to download data
for mapping in MapInfo Pro or ArcView formats.
You should also know about FreeDemographics.com, which has the released
Census 2000 data down to block level up on the web for reporting too...there
is no mapping abilities, or database download abilities, but it's 100% FREE.
The Census Bureau is bundling SRC's Allocate Data Retrieval Engine (under
the Census 2000 Data Engine name) with the CD & DVD deliveries of Census
2000. This bundling with the software is starting with the national SF1 DVD
(to be released very soon) and will continue through all CD and DVD
deliveries of SF2, SF3, and SF4 over the next few years. The Census Bureau
CDs start at $50 each, DVDs are $60 each with some discounts for larger
volume orders.
SRC is offering some product enhancements (for example, so data can be
extracted already linked to Census 2000 boundaries in MapInfo or ArcView
formats) which can be used with all the Census 2000 data releases. SRC is
even offering the Allocate Data Retrieval Engine API for GIS developers, so
you can make the data available on the web, in the standard delivered format
immediately as it is released. These enhancements will save you (and the
rest of the GIS community who uses this data) a TON of time and money.
See our Census 2000 add-on website
http://www.extendthereach.com/census_add_on for more details on all the
available add-on options. Don't hesitate to contact SRC at 1-888-836-4274
or via e-mail at census_add_on@extendthereach.com with any further
questions.
Thanks,

Subject: GISList: Census 2000 SF1 DATA
Hello List,
What would you suggest as a source of Census 2000 data that is easy to use,
accurate and trustworthy? The GIS platform being used is MapInfo.
Has anyone used DemographicsNow? How about the Census Bureau CD's? Other
data providers?
I would really appreciate some feedback.
Thank you.
