Census 2010 datasets are finding a second home on the websites of think tanks, state data centers and advocacy groups that have repackaged the numbers in easy-to-use look-up formats. These sites are especially useful for people who only want one or two numbers, or who have not yet mastered the details of the American FactFinder look-up tool on the Census Bureau website.<\/p>\n\n
For example, the Census Bureau last week released population counts, down to the block level, for seven kinds of group quarters, <\/a>but the numbers are only available via the bureau’s data-firehose FTP site, which is intended for expert users. (An All Things Census posting in February explains why these numbers are being released earlier than usual.<\/a>) Two public policy advocacy groups, the Prison Policy Institute and Demos, have released a free look-up tool with block-level tables of correctional facilities<\/a>, searchable by county.<\/p>\n\n Using the bureau’s redistricting file, the US2010 project has posted easy look-ups of race and ethnic data for metropolitan areas and for cities<\/a> with populations of 10,000 or more, as well as residential segregation indices. CensusScope has a rich trove of counts from the 2010 Census and earlier censuses <\/a>for total populations, race\/ethnic groups and the race\/ethnic composition of the child populations for states, metropolitan areas, counties and cities (and metro-area segregation indices). And, of course, the Pew Hispanic Center has 2000 and 2010 Hispanic and non-Hispanic census counts<\/a> for every state and county.<\/p>\n\n Many State Data Centers (here is a map with links to all of them<\/a>) have repackaged census data for their localities in simple-to-use tables. In Alaska, the look-up includes Alaska native villages and tribal areas <\/a>as well as cities, boroughs and other units of geography. California offers detailed data<\/a> and some numbers from earlier years. Colorado offers rankings<\/a> as well as data. Connecticut offers a color-coded map of population change<\/a> and Indiana has population maps by school district<\/a> and other geographies. Pennsylvania has detailed group quarters numbers for each of its counties.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Census 2010 datasets are finding a second home on the websites of think
