Why was the data set created?

Provides 2010 census population data. This table can be joined to to the GEO_ID_BLK item in BLOCK10_AREA using the GEO_ID item.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: 01-Feb-2010 (process 1 of 1)

   Data downloaded from Census website. Imported to MS Access. Query filters applied to export xls formatted files. ArcGIS used to convert xls files to dbf files. DBF files imported to ArcGIS SDE using TableToTable. STATE item dropped as a reserved word. BLOCK modified to BLOCK_NUM as BLOCK is a reserved word. GEO_ID modified from text(255) to text(15) to be consistent to GEO_ID item in geometry tables.

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?
   
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   All records and all items available in Census download (except STATE item) imported
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   Each record represented by unique GEO_ID that relates to BLOCK geometry.
