如白人黑人那样列入一级分类，Asian 这个一级分类就这样消失于迷踪。
如何把“Asian”找回来？ 这里有几个办法。 第一就是直接给人口普查局的局长写信
。 注意不是用email 轰炸，而是邮政信件。 第二就是跟您所居住的选区的国会代表写
信。 这可以是Email 。 目前人口普查局已经把最新的那个版本送交国会讨论。 国会
议员的看法很重要。 下面这有两份写给人口普查局局长的信件的样本。 请大家讨论并
修改之后，寄给局长或者您的国会议员。 以下就是两个样本：

growing more slowly than in past decades but still shifting to the South and
West.
The Census Bureau announced Tuesday that the nation's population on April 1

The data comes from a Census release called “Young Adults: Then and Now,”

According to new census figures, the number of people reporting that they
are living with a same-sex partner has risen 52 percent in the last decade.
That’s almost 902,000 people who are living all across the United States.
Even here in my own incredibly conservative state of South Carolina, the
number of same-sex couples increased and a quarter of them are raising
children.

How to download demographic census data in all the block groups in a CITY,
instead of downloading demographic data in block groups in a COUNTY？
第二个问题：Tiger block groups shapefile的Key ID是＂ＧＥＯＩＤ＂，对吧？
２０１０ ＡＣＳ里的ＫｅｙＩＤ是“ＧＥＯ＿ＧＥＯＩＤ＂，然后把这个分成两部分
，第二部分正好应该与Tiger file里的 "GEOID" 一致，应该是match的ＩＤ，对吧？
可是我怎么也join不了啊！！！ 问题在哪？？？
难道join的两个files必须相同行数（两个都是同城市的block groups），不能一个多
（county) 一个少(city)？
很急啊！！！！！！ |
