A survey released 12/14/2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau paints a picture of each state, describing in detail its social, economic, housing and demographic features - down to county, city and even neighborhood levels.
The Bureau's five-year American Community Survey will affect where new hospitals, schools and emergency services will be placed and where many jobs will go. It could be useful for brownfield redevelopment grant proposals. For the first time, the American Community Survey is providing five-year estimates of the population's traits; the one released Tuesday covers 2005-2009; one year from now, the estimates will be for 2006-2010, and so on.
