demographics are off, whether county level or cvap block data

happyjack27 commented 8 years ago

...actually county level is good (i was comparing to total pop rather than voting age pop.)

cvap imports have something wrong with 'em. they're coming up way high.

It's including multiple summary levels.

for list of summary levels, see: http://factfinder.census.gov/help/en/summary_level_code_list.htm

in Mainframe line 7227, add:

String pseudo_or_actual = ""+geo_line.charAt(167); String summary_level = geo_line.substring(8,11);

//ignore non-vtd's. if( !summary_level.equals("700")) { continue; }

/ these are "SUMLEV"'; census summary levels 700 = vtd 150 = block group /
