I'm filling out an application for a CDBG project and I need some help. Even with 16 years of experience I've simply never had to deal with any CDBG/census stuff before. Anyway, I seem to keep finding conflicting information when trying to get demographic information about census tracts. Is there a single place I can find the low/low mod income data as well as race, ethnicity and disable population info? Thanks.
It's the price of oil, the war of the spoils, where's your bucket for the big bailout? Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, we've got a lot to drink about!.
Start at Census.gov. Some of the data may be from the 2000 and/or 2010 Census, some may have to be gathered from the American Community Survey.
The requirements keep changing but I understand that CD is moving to a tract-only system of determining eligibility, and may require use of a certain census (2010). But when in doubt, get the info where you can.
