2010 Census County-Level Data Tip Sheets
"2010 Census Local-Level Data -- Since February, we have begun to see the portrait of America take shape, as each state receives local-level 2010 Census data on race, Hispanic origin, the voting age population and housing units. As required by law, the Census Bureau provides these key demographic data to the states (on a state-by-state flow basis) so state governments can redraw the boundaries of their congressional and state legislative districts. The data began rolling out the first week of February, with announcements about which states will be included in the following week's data releases. States to be released the week of March 14: Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota and
Tennessee.

For further details, see our press kit at: http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/redistricting.html.

Note: The Public Information Office Call Center is remaining open for media
calls until 5 p.m. (in your state’s time zone) as each P.L. 94-171 data are released.

2010 Census Interactive Maps -- As the 2010 Census redistricting files are
issued, the Census Bureau is also releasing interactive state maps showing
county-level population change from 1960 to 2010, as well as state-level
data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin for 2010. The widget can be
embedded on your website and will update as additional states are released.
