Official US 2010 Census Results

[cinyc]

NYC: 8,175,133 (+2.1%)

DC lost 11.5% of its non-Hispanic black population and is now just barely majority non-Hispanic black - 50.03%.  DC's non-Hispanic white population grew by 31.6% - faster than its Hispanic population (21.8%).

[Linus Van Pelt]

The upstate's holding OK, all things considered, except for Western New York. Even Monroe and Onondaga grew. As we saw with Wisconsin, the severe losses are really just in the core rust belt extending from the southern tip of Lake Michigan to the eastern tip of Lake Erie, rather than the broader industrial midwest.

(There are also major losses in agricultural areas all around, but that's a separate issue).

The mean population center of the US is in the northwest corner of Texas County, Missouri, probably somewhere near Roby, Missouri.  The 2000-2010 shift was the most southerly shift ever (compass wise).  It didn't move as far westward as the past few decades.

Maine
Maine grew at a 4.2% pace.  All but two of its 16 counties grew, both on Maine's eastern border with Canada.  Downeast Washington County, home to the easternmost point in the United States, lost 3.2% of its population.  Maine's hat, Aroostook County (Presque Isle) lost 2.8%.  

Coastal Waldo County (Belfast; +6.9%) grew fastest - though it's not immediately clear why.  The county is somewhat close to Bangor, but doesn't seem terribly suburban.  Bangor's Penobscot County (+6.2%) was next, followed by Porland's Cumberland County (+6.0%), which picked up the most new residents and remains the largest county in the state, and south coastal York County (+5.6%).  Oxford County (+5.6%) on the New Hampshire border, Hancock County (Bar Harbor/Arcadia National Park; +5.1%), Franklin County (+4.4%) in northeast Maine and the state capital of Augusta's Kennebec County (+4.3%) also grew faster than the state.  Coastal Knox County (Rockport; +0.3%) and Sagadahoc County (Bath; +0.2%) barely grew.

On the municipal level, the Portland suburb of Gorham (+15.8%) grew fastest among the top 20 municipalities and picked up the most new residents, 2,240.  It is near the University of Southern Maine.  Gorham was followed by another Portland suburb, Windham (+14.1%), the college town of Orono (+13.7%), near Bangor, and Portland-suburban Scarborough (+11.5%).  Other Portland suburbs, including Falmouth (+8.5%), Westbrook (+8.4%), South Portland (+7.2%) and Standish (+6.3%) also grew faster than the state.  Portland (+3.0%) lagged state growth, but picked up about 1,950 new residents.

The picture was more mixed in coastal York County on the New Hampshire border.  Saco (+9.9%) almost posted double-digit growth, while Kennebunk (+3.1%) and Saco's neighbor, Biddleford (+1.6%) lagged the state, inland Sanford was flat (-0.0%) and the town of York (-2.5%) lost population.  In the rest of the state, Steven King's Bangor (+5.0%) and the state capital of Augusta (+3.1%) grew, Waterville (+0.7%) was flat and Brunswick (-4.2%) and Auburn (-0.6%) lost population.

Maine's non-Hispanic white population increased by 2.0%.  Its non-Hispanic black population (+135.3%) more than doubled and its Hispanic population (+80.9%) almost doubled.  Non-Hispanic Asians increased by 49.1%.  Those last three figures may sound impressive, but each minority group makes up only a little over 1% of Maine's population.  Maine is still 94.4% non-Hispanic white.

New York
New York State and City both grew at a 2.1% clip.  Among the five boroughs of New York, Staten Island (Richmond County) grew the fastest, at a 5.6% clip, followed by the Bronx (+3.9%), which picked up the most new residents, Manhattan (New York County; +3.2%), Brooklyn (Kings County; +1.6%) and Queens (+0.1%).  Outside of NYC, the fastest growing of the top 20 counties were suburban/exurban.  Albany-suburban Saratoga County (+9.5%) lead the pack, followed by the usual suspects in the far NYC suburbs/exurbs: Orange County (+9.2%), Rockland County (+8.7%) and Dutchess County (+6.2%) in the northern suburbs and Suffolk County (+5.2%) on the east end of Long Island.  Suffolk picked up the most new residents of the state.  NYC's closer-in suburban counties, Westchester (+2.8%) and Nassau (+0.4) also grew.  

Upstate, many Western New York Counties lost population, including Buffalo's Erie County (-3.3%) and Niagara Falls' Niagara County (-1.5%).  Somewhat surprisingly, Rochester's Monroe County (+1.2%), Syracuse's Onaodaga County (+1.9%) and Binghamton's Broome County (+0.0%) all grew, even if their growth lagged the state's.  Albany County (+3.3%) and NYC uber-exurban Ulster County (+2.7%) grew faster than the state, while Utica's Oneida County (-0.3%) showed a slight decline.  

On the municipal level, Upstate Buffalo (-10.7%), Niagara Falls (-9.7%), Rochester (-4.2%), Rome (-3.5%), Syracuse (-1.5%) and Bighamton (-0.0%) lost population.  Utica (+2.6%) grew faster than the state.  The Albany-area cities of Schenectady (+7.0), Albany (+2.3%) and Troy (+2.0%) all grew.  The New York suburban picture was mixed with the city of Poughkeepsie (+9.6) growing fastest.  In north-suburban Westchester County, White Plains (+7.1%) and New Rochelle (+6.8%) grew while Mount Vernon (-1.6%) and Yonkers (-0.1%) posted slight declines.  On Long Island, the village of Valley Stream (+3.1%) grew while Long Beach (-6.2%),  Hempstead village (-4.7%) and  Freeport village (-2.1%) lost population.

New York State lost both non-Hispanic Whites (-3.9%) and non-Hispanic blacks (-1.0%).  Its Hispanic population grew by 19.2% - which might not sound high relative to other states.  But because New York was home to over 2.8 million Hispanics in 2000, it translates into a gain of almost 550,000 Hispanics, putting the Hispanic population at 3.4 million, 17.6% of the state's population.  New York's non-Hispanic Asian population increased by 35.7%.  It is now over 1.4 million.

Interesting.  Harlem is getting less and less black.  Charlie Rangel will be representing a majority Hispanic district before long - if he isn't already.

The mean population center of the US is 2.7 miles northeast of Plato, Missouri, at 37.517534 N, 92.173096 W.  It is 23.4 miles SSW of last decade's mean population center near Edgar Springs, Missouri.

I doubt their signal makes it all the way out to High Point, NJ but not to West Babylon.

It's probably just random.  One set of maps includes Orange and Putnam counties.  The other doesn't.  Neither include Suffolk.

They should be in the new American Factfinder:

I find Oklahoma City and the top 20 cities in Oklahoma, but I don't find the smaller towns.  Are they not released, yet?

As of 2PM this afternoon, redistricting data for every state has been released.  Oklahoma's data should have been put in the new American Factfinder within 24 hours of release a few weeks ago.  If it is not,  You could always download the Oklahoma file from census' redistricting FTP site.

Yvette Clarke has the district that is most underpopulated east of Buffalo.  Wow.

Interesting.  Harlem is getting less and less black.  Charlie Rangel will be representing a majority Hispanic district before long - if he isn't already.

Rangel's district actually became less Hispanic in the last 10 years it was 48% Hispanic in 2000 and 46% in 2010, while blacks went from 30% to 26%. It's whites that gained going from 16% to 21%.

Interesting.  Harlem is getting less and less black.  Charlie Rangel will be representing a majority Hispanic district before long - if he isn't already.

Rangel's district will need to pick up about 77,000 new residents.  Moving it into the Bronx will inevitably pick up more Hispanics than blacks.  The black sections of the South Bronx are more Hispanic than black now.  Getting it up to the more heavily African-American areas of the North Bronx would be a strange Gerrymander.  Moving it South into the Upper West Side or east into Queens would pick up more Whites.

Jerrold Nadler's NY-08 is the closest to the ideal population, needing only about 4,000 new residents.  NY-01 in Suffolk County is also pretty close, just over 12,000.  Ever other district needs to find more than 17,000 residents.

Brooklyn's Asian population grew by more than 40%, even though the population barely grew at all overall (according to Census):

Rangel has no problem representing Hispanics. Or had, anyways, before his ethic troubles hit. No idea who still supported him in the 2010 primary - though his stronger challengers were Black too IIRC.
Also, Harlem has probably the most Hispanic Blacks in the nation (huge DomRep immigrant population.) These figures are for non-Hispanic Blacks.

New York state's Hispanic Black population rose by 44%, to almost 300k. Almost a quarter of the national Hispanic Black population is in New York state.

No, but black Dominicans are. They're the main Hispanic black group.

I never said he'd have trouble with it.  I just made the observation that Harlem is becoming more white as non-Hispanic blacks leave Harlem and, in many cases, New York City.  They might try to stretch Rangel's district into the North Bronx to pick up more non-Hispanic blacks.  But his new district otherwise might end up being majority Hispanic instead of plurality so - unless it moves south into the Upper West Side or east into Astoria.

NYC's Dominican population in more in Washington Heights than Harlem (also in Rangel's district, IIRC).
