 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  WEDNESDAY, AUG. 24, 2011 U.S. Census Bureau Releases 2010 Census  Population Counts for the U.S. Virgin Islands The U.S. Census Bureau today  released the 2010 Census population counts for the U.S. Virgin Islands. On  April 1, 2010, the population was 106,405. This represented a decrease of 2.0  percent from the 2000 Census population of 108,612. The population counts have  been provided to the governor. The accompanying data table  shows population totals and percent changes from 2000 to 2010 for the U.S.  Virgin Islands as well as several lower-level geographies. The attached custom  maps include a reference map and maps showing the population by  census subdistrict and percent change in population by census subdistrict. As part of the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau worked with the U.S.  Virgin Islands government to enumerate and gather detailed data on population  and housing characteristics. Next year, more 2010 Census statistics will be  available for the U.S. Virgin Islands in a demographic profile. The demographic  profile will show a set of basic demographic, social, economic and housing characteristics  for the Island Area and lower levels of geography. **Additional  Geographic Resources** Two key geographic resources have been  released for the U.S. Virgin Islands this summer: a series of maps showing the  2010 Census blocks and 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefiles. The series of large-scale  block maps  provide a reference guide for geographic entities down to the census block  level and display the boundaries and numbers for all census blocks. The 2010  Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles provide a base layer for mapping and contain the  location and relationship of streets, rivers and other features to one another.  The shapefiles also show the numerous geographic entities for which Census  Bureau statistics are available.
