Census Bureau Announces Two More Releases

The last week of October has been a busy one at the Census Bureau, with the release of the 2008-2010 3-Year Estimates (for Census geographies that have 20,000 or more people) and the Decennial Census Summary File 1 National Update for areas that cross state boundaries. Below are the Census Bureau release notes for these two new data sets:

The U.S. Census Bureau will release findings from the 2008-2010 American Community Survey, the most relied-upon source for up-to-date socioeconomic information every year. The release covers more than 40 topics, such as educational attainment, income, health insurance coverage, occupation, language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry and selected monthly homeowner costs. The estimates are available in detailed tables for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district, every metropolitan area, and all counties and places with populations of 20,000 or more.Summary File tables

New geographic levels, including the U.S., regions, divisions and other areas that cross state boundaries, are now available for the 2010 Census Summary File 1. State and lower-level geographies were released during June through August. The summary file provides a number of detailed tables on age, sex, households, families, relationship to householder, housing units, detailed race and Hispanic or Latino origin groups, and on the population in group quarters.
