Title: 2010 Census Blocks: Sex - Total Population (sel items)
Abstract:
ARCGIS LYR File: 2010 Census Blocks joined to sf1_blk10_p07 business table. Selected items from this business table for: Sex - Total Population are shown as visible in layer file. These items are those likely required for business needs. All other items in the business table are still present in layer file but may not be displayed. Depending on how many subjects of interest the given business table describes all items may be active (i.e., visible). The subjects for this layer file are: P12A-Sex By Age (White Alone) (49); P12B-Sex By Age (Black Or African American Alone) (49); P12C-Sex By Age (American Indian And Alaska Native Alone) (49); P12D-Sex By Age (Asian Alone) (49); P12E-Sex By Age (Native Hawaiian And Other Pacific Islander Alone) (49); . The value (letter number combination) before the dash is the logical table name,which is also the prefix for the items in that subject area. The value inside the ( ) after the description of the logical table is the number of items for that subject.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    Accuracy of the layer file is dependent on the accuracy of the dependent geography and table objects.

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    Covers all of King County

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    In the entire SF 1 series, there are 47 physical tables spanning 331 logical tables. Not all tables are related to each geography (place, tract, block group and block). Of the 331 tables, 269 are population tables and 62 are housing tables. Of the 269 population tables, 177 relate down to the block level, 82 relate down to the tract level and 10 relate to the county level. Of the 62 housing tables, 58 relate down to the block level, 4 relate down to the tract level and none relate to the county level. Some tables are repeated by each major race and Hispanic or Latino groups: 14 population tables and 4 housing tables are shown down to the block level and 5 population tables are shown down to the tract level.
