Kansas Block Group Data and Maps

This paper is probably of historical interest only, being perhaps the first example (May 1994) of using SAS for dynamic WWW pages. A functioning example from this paper is no longer available. The SAS program, CGI shell script and data are still available. A more comprehensive set of tools is available from SAS Institute.

County boundaries:
c20bna.zip - county tiger boundaries in bna format (zipped)
makecty.sas - a SAS program to make a SAS GMAP dataset (from bnasas.sas provided by John Blodgett with parameters modified for c20bna)
mkctyan.sas - a SAS program to make an annotate dataset
prctyan.sas - a SAS program to project the annotate dataset

Blockgroup boundaries:
bg20.bna.Z - county tiger boundaries in bna format (compressed)
makebg.sas - a SAS program to make a SAS GMAP dataset (from bnasas.sas provided by John Blodgett with parameters modified for bg20.bna)
projbg.sas - a SAS program to project the GMAP dataset
testbg.sas - a SAS program to display the block group boundaries

DATA:
census.trn.Z - a SAS transport format dataset containing a few 1990 census data values for Kansas blockgroups. These data were extracted from the 1990 stf3 CDROM (dbase files) and converted to a SAS dataset.
xprt.sas - a SAS program which created the transport format dataset. It can be modified to convert back to a SAS dataset on your platform.
