Census Atlas of the United States (2007)

In PDF format, the first comprehensive atlas of population and housing produced by the Census Bureau since the 1920s. The Census Atlas is a large-format publication about 300 pages long and containing almost 800 maps. Data from decennial censuses prior to 2000 support nearly 150 maps and figures, providing context and an historical perspective for many of the topics presented. A variety of topics are covered in the Census Atlas, ranging from language and ancestry characteristics to housing patterns and the geographic distribution of the population. A majority of the maps in the Census Atlas present data at the county level, but data also are sometimes mapped by state, census tract (for largest cities and metropolitan areas), and for selected American Indian reservations. The book is modern, colorful, and includes a variety of map styles and data symbolization techniques.

News release excerpt: "This is one of the most exhaustive studies of residential segregation ever undertaken," said Daniel H. Weinberg, co-author with John Iceland of the report. The authors said that residential segregation may result from a variety of factors, including choices people make about where they want to live, restrictions on their choices or lack of information.  The report, however, limits its focus to the measurable extent of segregation according to five objective indices dissimilarity (evenness), isolation (exposure), delta (concentration), absolute centralization and spatial proximity (clustering).

Population Estimates  

The Population Estimates Program publishes total resident population estimates and demographic components of change (births, deaths, and migration) each year. We also publish the estimates by demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin) for the nation, states and counties. In addition to the resident population universe, we also produce population estimates for these universes: resident plus armed forces overseas, civilian, and civilian non-institutional at the national level; and civilian at the state level. The reference date for estimates is July 1. Estimates usually are for the present and the past, while projections are estimates of the population for future dates.
