Official US 2010 Census Results

[veritas]

Hello, I am new to this website. I hope it will be of help.

I am doing a study on ways to redo the current American system of living. I've done a thorough search, but am unable to find the results from the 2010 Census. If someone knows where I can find this information, and direct me there, it would be much appreciated. Thank you and good luck.

It hasn't been released yet. I think the first batches of data will come out in mid-December.

The state apportionments will be released before the end of this year. The redistricting data will be released during the first three months of 2011, completed by the end of March.

I can't wait for the apportionment data !

[Californian Tony]

Well, I think now it should be high time to get the apportionment figures.

Can anyone please sticky this ?

"Fulfilling its constitutional mandate, the U.S. Census Bureau will release the first set of 2010 Census data at a news conference Tuesday, Dec. 21 at 11 a.m. EST at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

The 2010 Census data to be released include the resident population for the nation and the states as well as the congressional apportionment totals for each state. The law requires the Census Bureau to report these results to the President by Dec. 31."

What information will be released in the 2010 census that was not released in the 2000 census and visa versa?

[Bacon King]

Hey, that's an awesome birthday present for them to give me!

Here are the calculated April 1, 2010 benchmark numbers for comparison purposes:

Column 1 = April 1, 2010 population
Column 2 =  July 1, 2009 population
Column 3 =  July 1, 2008 population
Column 4 = Population growth between July 2008 and July 2009
Column 5 = Percentage growth between July 2008 and July 2009
Column 6 = Population growth between 2008 and 2009 * 0.75 to project April 1, 2000 population
Column 7 = 2000 Census Count
Column 8 = Population growth between 2000 Census and projected 2010 Census count

[Tender Branson]

Do you think there will be big errors relative to Mid-2009 estimates ?

Here's a quick overview of CB estimate errors in the 2000 Census:

Percentage Error (Estimates vs. Census Count by state):



Numerical Error (Estimates vs. Census Count by state):

I guess the county and city data will be released sometime next year ?

[muon2]

The census bureau will release the apportionment data on Dec 21. The press conference will be at 11 am EST.

At round about what pop. figure would RI lose/MT regain its second seat?

[shua]

At round about what pop. figure would RI lose/MT regain its second seat?

assuming 309 mil. total population of 50 states, divided by 435 seats would mean 1 seat per approx. 760 K, so I would guess 1.04 mil would be the threshold for rounding up or down.

assuming 309 mil. total population of 50 states, divided by 435 seats would mean 1 seat per approx. 760 K, so I would guess 1.04 mil would be the threshold for rounding up or down.

For 309M an average seat is 710K, not 760K.  Cutoff line between 1 and 2 seats using the current method is approximately √2 of a seat or 1004K.  However, because people living in the territories and DC, as well as some people overseas don't count in the apportionment population, the apportionment population will be less than the overall population by several millions, so the cutoff will be around 990K instead.

[Vasall des Midas]

So RI is not in danger (yet) and MT will likely lose out fairly narrowly for the third time in a row?

Headline:  New Population Count May Complicate Obama 2012 Bid

By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Charles Babington, Associated Press – Sun Dec 19, 11:21 am ET

WASHINGTON – The 2010 census report coming out Tuesday will include a boatload of good political news for Republicans and grim data for Democrats hoping to re-elect President Barack Obama and rebound from last month's devastating elections.

It will be released February 2010.

[Californian Tony]

Tomorrow...

It will be released February 2010.

Redistricting data, ie data from the full census at the block level, must be released by Mar 31, 2011. Historically, the Census rolls out the data state-by-state over the spans of a few weeks before the deadline. Currently they show that as happening from Feb-Mar 2011. County and city data are built up from the block data.

Should this be moved to Muon's newly upgraded board?
