 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  THURSDAY, AUG. 11, 2011 Census Bureau Releases New Local-Level Demographic Information from 2010 Census for Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland,  New Jersey and Texas The U.S. Census Bureau today released  new, detailed demographic information from the 2010 Census for Arkansas, Iowa,  Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey and Texas. These Summary File 1 tables provide the most detailed counts available so  far from the 2010 Census, including cross-tabulations of age,  sex, households, families, relationship to householder, housing units, detailed  race and Hispanic or Latino origin groups, and group quarters. The statistics  are available for a variety of geographic areas, with most tables available  down to the block or census tract level. **What's  Unique in Summary File 1** Summary File 1 provides new layers of  detail about the topics covered in the 2010 Census and cross-tabulates many of  these topics to provide a more nuanced picture. Beyond just providing counts of  families, for example, the summary file also shows the number of families by  type, by the age of the children present and by race and Hispanic origin of the  householder. Many of the tables are repeated for nine race and Hispanic or Latino  origin groups: white alone, black or African-American alone, American Indian  and Alaska Native alone, Asian alone, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific  Islander alone, some other race, two or more races, Hispanic or Latino, and  white alone not Hispanic or Latino. New topics include: Single  year of age by sex
  More  detail on children, including adopted, stepchildren and grandchildren
  Race  and Hispanic origin of householder
  More  detail on household relationships
  Group  quarters population by sex, age and group quarters type
  Housing  tenure (rented or owned) by age, household type, race and Hispanic origin of  householder
  Mortgage  status of owned housing units Counts about previously unreleased race and  Hispanic or Latino origin groups are also available, including: American  Indian and Alaska Native tribal groupings, such as Cheyenne, Navajo and Yup'ik
  Asian  groups, such as Bangladeshi, Hmong and Pakistani
  Hispanic  origin groups, such as Argentinean, Colombian and Guatemalan
  Native  Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander groups, such as Fijian, Marshallese and Tongan **Geographies Available** With  today's release, tables  are available for states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts,  ZIP code tabulation areas, congressional districts for the 111th Congress and,  where applicable, American Indian and Alaska Native areas and Hawaiian home  lands. For most subjects, statistics for census block groups and blocks are also  shown. **Comparing  Summary File 1 with the 2000 Census** To assist with comparing the 2010 Census statistics with the 2000 Census,  a topical cross-walk of table numbers from the two censuses is available at http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/summary-file-1.html.   The cross-walk  provides a quick reference table for users who want to know which 2000 Census  tables correspond to 2010 Census Summary File 1 tables. **Accessing  the Information** The Summary File 1 tables can be found on the Census Bureau's American FactFinder website at <http://factfinder2.census.gov/>. A good place to start is the quick tables (noted as “QT” in the search results list), which show a summary of a particular topic for one geographic area at a time. The geographic comparison tables (noted as “GCT”) are a good place to start for a first look at a topic across geographies, such as all places within a state. A summary file version of the information is also available for users who want to download the set of detailed tables for all of the geographies within a state and run their own analysis and rankings. The summary file contains two parts: a file with the geographic headers (in fixed-length ASCII format) and a file with the statistical information (in comma-separated ASCII format). The summary file is available for download at
<http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/>. For local context, contact your  state data center: https://www.census.gov/sdc/network.html.  **Editor’s note: Summary File 1 will be publicly  available via FTP at 12:01 a.m. EDT, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011 and in American  FactFinder by 10 a.m. EDT Thursday, Aug.  11, 2011.** **Follow @uscensusbureau on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and Ustream.**
