Does anybody have experience with decade to decade
census comparisons? I am trying to figure out the best
way to deal with the changing geographic borders of
census tracts. My analysis is from 1980-2000, at the
tract level. The only idea that I have is to use the
1980 census tracts for the whole analysis because
generally, when the borders are updated, they are not
completely rearranged, just divided into multiple
pieces. So, I could just average all the demographic
data of the 2000 tracts that lie within one particular
1980 tract. Is this the best way to deal with the
changing tract boundaries? Any suggestions are greatly
appreciated.
