                 Detailed Demographic Data From 
             Census 2000 Released for New Hampshire
                                
  The U.S. Commerce Department's Census Bureau today released the first
detailed demographic data based on Census 2000 questions asked of all
people and about every housing unit in the state of New Hampshire.

  The electronic file (Summary File 1) includes statistical data on the
following population items: sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin,
household relationship, and household and family characteristics. Housing
items include occupancy status and tenure (whether the unit is owner- or
renter-occupied).

  Summary File 1 contains 286 tables for states, counties, county
subdivisions, places, census tracts, ZIP code tabulation areas, as well as
congressional districts for the 106th Congress and, where applicable,
American Indian and Alaska Native areas and Hawaiian home lands. For most
subjects, data for census block groups and blocks also are shown.
                                
  As each state is released, the set of compressed ASCII files will be
made available for download from the Census Bureau's new search-and-retrieval 
database, American FactFinder <http://factfinder.census.gov> and via its 
FTP server <http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/>. At the same time, these files 
will be available for purchase from the Census Bureau's Customer Services
Center on recordable CD-ROMs that will not have software. In addition, the
Census Bureau plans to subsequently release a value-added CD-ROM product
with a proprietary data format and software. It, too, may be purchased
from Customer Services. When all states have been released, the Census
Bureau will put the entire SF1 for all states on one or two DVDs.

  A weekly release schedule will be posted on a special page on the Census
Bureau's Web site at <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2001/sumfile1.html>.
For information about ordering Census 2000 products, contact Customer
Services on 301-457-4100 or e-mail <webmaster@census.gov>.
