We will use the old Tiger Places, but it is worth exploring how to rebuild this from scratch. First, visit https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html. Then download each state's place file. Load them and merge them. See [[PostGIS_Installation#Bulk_Download_TIGER_Shapefiles]] for more information. It is also worth reading the [[Tiger Geocoder]] and [[Jeemin Sim (Work Log)]].
====CPI====
We loaded the old CPI file, updating it with real numbers for 2018 and an estimate for 2019 based on extrapolating the last four months from the first eight, and then computing an annual average. The inflator is normalized to 2017 dollars. Data was taken from: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/supplemental-files/historical-cpi-u-201908.pdf
====Other things to do====
**Agglomeration!
**Note: Needs updating to reflect latest decisions
To this end, the base tables, which are used by multiple different projects, are built in BuildBaseTables.sql
==Agglomeration==
This build supports the [[Urban Start-up Agglomeration and Venture Capital Investment]] paper. It uses the sql script: AgglomerationVcdb4.sql, which is in E:\projects\agglomeration. The notes are here: [[
==Ranking==
A new Ranking.sql file was created in E:\projects\vcdb4 and run.
