Notes:
By law, the redistricting data must be delivered to the states by April 1, 2001. These data include total population and population 18 years and over by 63 race categories, non-Hispanic population for the same race categories and Hispanic or Latino population for all levels of geography down to the census block.
PL data are released in the following sequence of events. First, the data are provided to the government entities (majority and minority legislative leaders, governors, etc.). After a brief period, the data will then be available to the public via the American FactFinder online data retrieval tool available from the Census Bureau’s web site at www.census.gov. Then, after allowing for production, CD-ROMs containing the data will be available for purchase through our on-line Catalog. Data are released on a state by state basis on AFF and then CD-ROM. Once all states have been released the entire country will be available on DVD-ROM (3 discs). After that, a nation-wide single CD-ROM product will be released, containing data down to the county/place level.
Maps and geographic files are provided to state officials prior to the release of the data and are available to the public shortly thereafter.
