2010 Census Data
So, you say you are interested in Census data? Well, you've come to 
the right place! Here you can get at the latest census data in a variety of different ways - you can map the 2010 Census data in Weave; you can look at the 2010 Census data by county and city (in the 20-county Atlanta region); you can download a Superdistrict profile of both the 2010 Census and the 2005-2009 American Community Survey; you can read a report; and, finally, you can just download the data yourself.
This is a landing page of what we have to date about the census - we thought you might like it all in one place. Each piece below, however, is located in other areas on the site as well, often presented with more context. So don't be alarmed if you see some of this again - we planned it that way.

Instructions for manipulating the map and the scatterplot:
The data on both the map and the scatterplot are linked, meaning that if you select data on the scatterplot, the corresponding areas on the map will be highlighted.
Map: To change the variable being mapped, click on the legend title ("Population Change Per Square Mile, 2000-2010") and select a category from the left side of the table and a variable from the right side of the table.
Scatterplot: To change the variables on the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axes, simply click on the title and select different variables for each axis. Also notice the thin line - this is a regression line that shows "neatness" of fit. It shows the relationship between the two variables. Any point that is a significant distance from the line is an "outlier," meaning that the expected relationship (the line) does not hold.
Data table: At the very bottom of this Weave instance, there is an empty (mostly) data table. If you then click on the wrench in the upper-left corner, you can use the selector to add whatever data you want to the table. Once you are finished, export it as a .CSV file.

Recently released population, race and housing unit counts from the 2010 Census show dramatic population change throughout the 20-county region. This Regional Snapshot looks at a decade of change, in which growth in non-white populations far outpaced growth in the White population. It also shows the effect the recession had on many areas in the region, including some where more than half of all housing units are vacant.

Recently-released data from the 2010 Census reveal that the Atlanta region is getting older and that those ages 45-64 make up the fastest-growing segment in the region. This Regional Snapshot explores age trends in the 20-county region, showing which areas are adding kids and which are graying the most, while tracking the Millennials, Generation Xers and Baby Boomers through the last decade.

2010 Census data looks at both race/ethnicity and age trends and finds that age trends vary greatly depending on race or ethnicity, as well as place of residence. The youngest of the age cohorts are trending Non-White, while the White population increased in the the oldest age cohorts - those 45 and older.

This tells the story of the Atlanta region through the eyes of the 2010 Census, the most comprehensive and reliable information released about the nation in the last 10 years. The story line is familiar – metro Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing places in the nation, while getting older and more diverse. And the magnitude of change is dramatic. Simply put, the Atlanta region isn’t the same place it was 10 years ago. And it won’t be the same place in 30 years. Change will continue to transform our region.
