The first new Census data in 10 years is now available. During March 2001 the U.S. Census Bureau is releasing State files daily, for Population, Race and Age, down to the Block. The raw data is free from the Census Bureau at: http://ftp2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/redistricting_file--pl_94-171/. If you find the official files cumbersome, consider the offerings of GeoLytics, a hard-working little company whose only business is making Census data easy to use. http://www.CensusCD.com or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
