  11. Population Data Sets • US Census – 2000 • Best "count" of US Population • Available free to the public • 10 year old data set

  12. Population Data Sets • Estimated Population Data – 2008 • Estimate of US Population - based on 2000 census • US Gov't provides estimates to county level • Private data available for a fee

  13. Population Data Sets • LandScan Ambient Data – 2008 • Compiled by Oak Ridge (TN) National Labs • Raster data – 30" x 30" (.0083 Decimal Degrees) • Free with approved registration

  26. Reception Centers

  27. Reception Center Allocation

  28. Reception Center Allocation • Cost Weighted Distance • Raster calculation • Calculates best path based on 'travel cost' • Weights assigned subjectively
