Detailed 2010 Census Data for Nebraska Released Today

The Census Bureau announced this morning that new, detailed demographic information from the 2010 Census for up to 331 different race and ethnic groups down to the census tract level has been released  for  Nebraska, California, Colorado, Montana,and Wyoming. The Summary File 2 tables can be found on the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website at <http://factfinder2.census.gov> by using the “Population Groups” filter to select the specific race or ethnic groups of interest. While a variety of tables will be available, a good place to start is the Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics, which shows a summary of characteristics for one geographic area at a time. These Summary File 2 tables add a new layer of detail to the population and housing topics released last year from the 2010 Census. Information, such as age, relationship and homeownership, previously available only for an area’s entire population is now available for specific race and ethnic groups in that community. The statistics are available for  counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, ZIP Code tabulation areas, congressional districts for the 111th Congress, American Indian and Alaska Native areas within the states released, tribal subdivisions, metropolitan areas and Hawaiian home lands. To preserve confidentiality, only geographic entities with a population of at least 100 for the specified group are available in the summary file.
