Good morning,

2 URL issues in census_helpers.py:

  1. self.base_url = "http://paris.urbansim.org/data/pums/" This URL is not working now. It worked weeks ago when I first try this tool.
  2. self.fips_url = "https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/codes/files/" \ "national_county.txt" This URL is currently "http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/codes/files/national_county.txt", and it doesn't have column names in the file.

Thanks!

For the first one, our server crashed at the end of last week. I will try and get this back up when I get the chance.

lisalan520 commented 9 years ago

Thanks!

lisalan520 commented 9 years ago

Hi @fscottfoti Did you get a chance to restore the pums URL yet?

fscottfoti commented 9 years ago

Not yet. And I seem to have lost the code to do so. Sigh, not sure how I managed to not get it checked in. It wasn't a complicated script but it will take some remembering of where data came from etc.

lisalan520 commented 9 years ago

Got it. Thanks!

Hi Fletcher

I just tested the code. By using these two URLs: self.pums_relationship_file_url = "http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel/2010_Census_Tract_to_2010_PUMA.txt" & self.fips_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keithlayne/ansi_codes/master/data/national_county.txt"

I was able to get the Census starter to work. However, when running to

%time households, persons, fit = synthesize_all(starter, indexes=[ind])

An errors showed up as: error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Any thoughts on the possible causes? Thanks.

I think it's still the same issue. Our server crashed and so the built-in data is no longer working. Unfortunately this was one of the nicest features of synthpop but you now have to bring your own data from PUMS and ACS...

mckennasean commented 9 years ago

Looks like the PUMS dataset still is not accessible on urbansim.org. Any ideas for a workaround besides manually assembling your own dataset?

@janowicz haven't you made some progress with this recently? Or will make some progress soon?

janowicz commented 9 years ago

Ah, yes- some work on this was done. I have to upload the files to the new server, then update the branch with modified links. I estimate that I'll make a pull request by early next week!

As of the most recent merge, the url's in the code should be working now. Thanks!
