I am trying to generate a shapefile of 1980 census blocks using the 1992 Tiger/Line files. I am able to open the files directly using QGIS, and I can create shapefiles using the GDAL TIGER driver. However, these methods do not seem to extract the 1980 block information. Perhaps the GDAL Tiger driver doesn't pull that info? Is there a way to adapt these methods, or are there any other methods, for getting a 1980 census block shapefile?
Specifically, I need a 1980 block shapefile to overlay with a more recent census block shapefile to examine changed boundaries. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
