Census Bureau to Release Local 2010 Census Data for Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa and Maryland

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following is being
released by the U.S. Census Bureau:

What: Next week, the U.S. Census Bureau anticipates releasing local-level 2010
Census population counts for Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa and Maryland. For each
state, the Census Bureau will provide summaries of population totals, as well as
data on race, Hispanic origin and voting age. These data will be presented for
multiple geographies within the state, such as census blocks, tracts, voting
districts, cities, counties and school districts. Later this week, the Census
Bureau may also announce additional states anticipated for release next week.

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: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, we will release a news release with five custom tables of
data. At that time, we will release the full data set to our FTP download site.
Within 24 hours, the full set of five detailed tables will also be available to
the public online at http://factfinder2.census.gov.
