May 22nd Webinar on Geographic Standardization from MN Population Center
Hi everyone! I am passing along some info I received about a webinar on May 22 for anyone who may be interested in the topics!
Greetings, all –
Please join us on May 22nd at 11am PT/2pm ET for two presentations on geographic standardization from the Minnesota Population Center. Inspired by our EPHT Sub-county Data workshop last spring, Dave Van Riper and Jonathan Schroeder have continue their work on creating annual, census tract-level population estimates and ready to share their work to date. The webinar will run for 90 minutes total, with time built in for questions and discussion. Please feel free to invite your colleagues.

Description of presentations
Harmonizing Geographic Census Data across Time: NHGIS Time Series Tables
The National Historical Geographic Information System (http://www.nhgis.org) provides free online access to summary tables and GIS files for U.S. censuses and surveys going back to 1790. NHGIS also provides time series tables, which link together comparable statistics from multiple censuses. Our “geographically standardized” tables provide 1990, 2000, and 2010 statistics for 2010 census units at 10 geographic levels, including census tracts, block groups, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, and census places. These tables use advanced interpolation methods to produce high-quality estimates where boundaries changed between censuses. This webinar provides an overview of current and planned NHGIS time series features, describing our interpolation methodology, demonstrating advantages of our approach, and previewing our plans to extend tables to cover more years and subjects.
Annual Census Tract Population Estimates from IPUMS NHGIS: A Preview
As part of a pending NIH grant for IPUMS NHGIS, we plan to create and disseminate annual census tract population estimates broken down by sex and five-year age groups for all years 1990–2020. To generate estimates, we plan to use NHGIS geographically standardized tract data, Census Bureau population estimates for counties and cities/towns, and American Community Survey data. This brief presentation will describe our planned methodology and timeline.
