Abstract:

U.S. Population Grids (Summary File 3), 2000: Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Alpha Version contain an ArcInfo workspace with grids of demographic data from the year 2000 census. The grids have a resolution of 30 arc-seconds (0.0083 decimal degrees), or approximately 1 square km. The gridded variables are based on census block geography from Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files and census variables (income, poverty, education, housing age). This dataset is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network. The data in ARC/INFO Workspace format are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). To provide gridded demographic data, including characteristics of income, poverty, education, and housing age, for Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
