Abstract

A crosswalk matching US ZIP codes to corresponding CBSA (core-based statistical area)

Documentation

The denominators used to calculate the address ratios are the ZIP code totals. When a ZIP is split by any of the other geographies, that ZIP code is duplicated in the crosswalk file.

**Example: **ZIP code 03870 is split by two different Census tracts, 33015066000 and 33015071000, which appear in the tract column. The ratio of residential addresses in the first ZIP-Tract record to the total number of residential addresses in the ZIP code is .0042 (.42%). The remaining residential addresses in that ZIP (99.58%) fall into the second ZIP-Tract record.

So, for example, if one wanted to allocate data from ZIP code 03870 to each Census tract located in that ZIP code, one would multiply the number of observations in the ZIP code by the residential ratio for each tract associated with that ZIP code.

https://redivis.com/fileUploads/4ecb405e-f533-4a5b-8286-11e56bb93368%3E" alt="">(Note that the sum of each ratio column for each distinct ZIP code may not always equal 1.00 (or 100%) due to rounding issues.)

CBSA definition

A core-based statistical area (CBSA) is a U.S. geographic area defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that consists of one or more counties (or equivalents) anchored by an urban center of at least 10,000 people plus adjacent counties that are socioeconomically tied to the urban center by commuting. Areas defined on the basis of these standards applied to Census 2000 data were announced by OMB in June 2003. These standards are used to replace the definitions of metropolitan areas that were defined in 1990. The OMB released new standards based on the 2010 Census on July 15, 2015.

U.S. Core Based Statistical Areas represents geographic entities, defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by Federal statistical agencies, based on the concept of a core area with a large population nucleus, plus adjacent communities having a high degree of social and economic integration with that core. A Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) consists of a U.S. county or counties or equivalent entities associated with at least one urban core (urbanized area or urban cluster) with a population of at least 10,000 along with any adjacent counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties with the counties containing the core. CBSAs are categorized as being either Metropolitan or Micropolitan. Each Metropolitan Statistical Area must have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants. Each Micropolitan Statistical Area must have at least one urban cluster with a population of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000.Estimated 2018 total population is included along with many demographic attributes from the 2010 Census. CBSA features that are new since the 2010 Census have null demographic attributes values.

The Market Saturation and Utilization Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) dataset provides monitoring of market saturation as a means to help prevent potential fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). CBSAs are geographical delineations that are Census Bureau-defined urban clusters of at least 10,000 people. Market saturation, in the present context, refers to the density of providers of a particular service within a defined geographic area relative to the number of beneficiaries receiving that service in the area. The data can be used to reveal the degree to which use of a service is related to the number of providers servicing a geographic region. There are also a number of secondary research uses for these data, but one objective of making these data public is to assist health care providers in making informed decisions about their service locations and the beneficiary population they serve. The interactive dataset can be filtered and analyzed on the site or downloaded in Excel format.

The Location Affordability Index is an indicator of housing and transportation costs at the neighborhood level. It gives the percentage of a given family's income estimated to be spent on housing and transportation costs in a given location for eight different household profiles. It is calculated using actual and modeled data for Census block groups in all 942 Combined Base Statistical Areas, which cover 94% of the U.S. population.

Geospatial datasets on the long-term evolution of road networks are scarce, hampering our quantitative understanding of how the contemporary road network has evolved over the course of the 20th century. However, such information is crucial to better understand the dynamics of road network growth and expansion, and to shed light on the consequences of (sub-) urbanization processes, such as increasing mobility, traffic congestion, land take and transportation inequality.CHRONEX-US (“City-level Historical ROad Network EXpansion dataset for the conterminous United States”), is a geospatial vector dataset reporting estimates of the construction year for each road segment in densely and semi-densely built-up spaces within 693 core-based statistical areas (i.e., Metropolitan and Micropolitan statistical areas) in the conterminous US. CHRONEX-US is based on the USGS National Transportation Dataset (NTD), integrated with the historical settlement compilation for the US (HISDAC-US). CHRONEX-US reports model-based construction epoch estimates for urban and peri-urban local / residential road network segments, using three different model-based scenarios. The vector data inherit topological integrity from the NTD data allowing for routing and other connectivity-based analyses within temporal strata of urban road networks. CHRONEX-US vector geometries are attributed with the US Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER Feature Class Code (MTFCC), enabling stratification of the data by road category. The CHRONEX-US data descriptor (preprint) is available here.CHRONEX-US is available as a ZIP file containing 693 GeoPackage (.GPKG) geospatial vector polyline data files, named ”chronex_us_.gpkg”, with being the 5-digit identifier (GEOID) of the CBSA as defined by the US Census Bureau. Each GPKG contains the NTD road network vector data (polyline) clipped to the GBUA 2015 extents, split at the GBUA boundaries of previous years. The spatial reference system is the local UTM projection for each CBSA, facilitating distance- and orientation-based analyses. The attributes are:MTFCC_CODE: The US Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER Feature Class Code (MTFCC; see https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/reference/mtfccs2019.pdf).yr_lower_M1: Earliest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 1yr_upper_M1: Latest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 1yr_lower_M2: Earliest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 2yr_upper_M2: Latest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 2yr_lower_M3: Earliest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 3yr_upper_M3: Latest year of the estimated construction epoch according to model 3yr_< lower,upper >_< min,max,mean,std,range >: Statistics summarizing the estimates of the three models.
