Next week (March 7-11, 2011), the U.S. Census Bureau anticipates releasing local-level 2010 Census population counts for Connecticut. This data released by the Census Bureau will provide summaries of:
- Population totals
- Race
- Hispanic origin
- Voting age
This data will be released for multiple geographies within the state, such as census blocks, tracts, voting districts, cities, counties and school districts.
According to Public Law 94-171, the Census Bureau must provide redistricting data to the 50 states no later than April 1 of the year following the census. As a result, the Census Bureau is delivering the data state-by-state on a flow basis in February and March. All states will receive their data by April 1, 2011.
When will this data be released?
Each state’s geographic products and redistricting data are first delivered to the state’s leadership, such as the governor and majority and minority leaders in the state legislative body. Upon confirmation of delivery to the state leadership, the US Census Bureau will release a news release with five custom tables of data. Within 24 hours, the full set of five detailed tables will be available to the public online via the American FactFinder.
