Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S. Diversity (Atlas)
Description
This Census Bureau special report (series CENSR/01-1) presents a synthesis of the basic patterns and changes in U.S. population distribution in the last decade. Each page features county-level detail for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Each page also includes a small state-level map for a simplified view of the population theme. The Census 2000 data in this report
are based on the U.S. Census Bureau Redistricting (PL 94-171) Summary File. These data were released in March 2001 and were sent to each state for use in redrawing federal, state, and local legislative districts. Use of this source limits the report themes to total population, race and ethnicity, and population under age 18 (derived from the voting-age population counts in the redistricting data).
