How has your state, your county, or your neighborhood changed since 2000?  Social Explorer’s new data from the 2010 Census will help you find out.

The Census Bureau has been releasing redistricting data state-by-state from the 2010 census (specifically the PL94-171 file).   The first 42 states (plus Puerto Rico and D.C.) are already available on Social Explorer's map and report tools, and data for the entire nation will be ready over the next few weeks as it is released.

Social Explorer's customized reports present an extract of these 2010 data along with the 2000 figures to give users an early side-by-side comparison of changes in population, race, ethnicity, and housing occupancy.
