Abstract:
The U.S. Population Grids (Summary File 1), 2000: Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area, Alpha Version data set contains an ARC/INFO Workspace with grids of demographic data from the 2000 census. The grids have a resolution of 7.5 arc-seconds (0.002075 decimal degrees), or approximately 250 square meters. The gridded variables are based on census block geography from Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files and census variables (population, households, and housing variables) from Summary File 1. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
Purpose:
To provide gridded demographic data, including characteristics of age, race, ethnicity, and housing, for metropolitan statistical areas at a finer resolution than is available in the 30 arc-second grids used for the United States as a whole.

Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description:
1. ARC/INFO coverages for census block polygons are created from Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files. For more details on Census 2000 TIGER Line Files see: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tigerua/ua_tgr2k.html
2. The ARC/INFO coverages are joined to demographic data extracted from Census 2000, Summary File 1. For more details on Census 2000, Summary File 1 see: http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2001/sumfile1.html
3. The ARC/INFO polygon coverages for census blocks are transformed to a quadilateral grid with a resolution of 7.5 arc-seconds using proportional allocation. An explanation of proportional allocation is available at: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/plue/gpw/index.html?whatisagrid.html&2
