 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 2011 U.S. Census Bureau Delivers Vermont's 2010 Census Population Totals, Including    First Look at Race and Hispanic Origin Data for Legislative Redistricting The U.S. Census Bureau today released more detailed 2010 Census population totals 
  and demographic characteristics to the governor and leadership of the state 
  legislature in Vermont. These data provide the first look at population counts 
  for small areas and race, Hispanic origin, voting age and housing unit data 
  released from the 2010 Census. The official 2010 Census Redistricting Data Summary File can be used to redraw 
  federal, state and local legislative districts under Public Law 94-171. The 
  census data are used by state officials to realign congressional and state legislative 
  districts in their states, taking into account population shifts since the 2000 
  Census. Data for Vermont show that the five most populous cities and towns and their 
  2010 Census counts are Burlington, 42,417; Essex, 19,587; South Burlington, 
  17,904; Colchester, 17,067; and Rutland, 16,495. Burlington grew by 9.1 percent 
  since the 2000 Census. Essex grew by 5.2 percent, South Burlington grew by 13.2 
  percent, Colchester grew by 0.5 percent, and Rutland decreased by 4.6 percent. The largest county is Chittenden with a population of 156,545. Its population 
  grew by 6.8 percent since 2000. The other counties in the top five include Rutland 
  with a population of 61,642 (decrease of 2.8 percent); Washington, 59,534 (increase 
  of 2.6 percent); Windsor, 56,670 (decrease of 1.3 percent); and Franklin, 47,746 
  (increase of 5.1 percent). The redistricting file consists of five detailed tables: the first shows the 
  population by race, including six single race groups and 57 multiple race groups 
  (63 total race categories); the second shows the Hispanic or Latino population 
  as well as the non-Hispanic or Latino population cross-tabulated by the 63 race 
  categories. These tabulations are repeated in the third and fourth tables for 
  the population 18 years and over and are for the resident population of the 
  United States. The fifth table provides counts of housing units and their occupancy 
  status. These five detailed tables are available to the public online via FTP download 
  at http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/ 
  and will be available within 24 hours at http://factfinder2.census.gov. 
  (Access 2003 or Access 2007 shells or SAS scripts are provided to assist with 
  importing and accessing the summary file data from the FTP site. These shells 
  and scripts can be found at https://www.census.gov/rdo/tech_tips. 
  This Web page also contains special instructions for linking data downloaded 
  from FactFinder and/or the FTP site with the Census Bureau's geographic products.) By April 1, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive 
  these data for the following areas: state, congressional districts (for 111th 
  Congress), counties, minor civil divisions, state legislative districts, places, 
  school districts, census tracts, block groups and blocks, and if applicable, 
  American Indian and Alaska Native areas and Hawaiian home lands. In addition, 
  data are available for the 46 states that voluntarily provided voting districts 
  to the Census Bureau's Redistricting Data Program. Unique geographies 
  for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are also available. Race and Hispanic Origin Data The Census Bureau collects race and Hispanic origin information following the 
  U.S. Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) standards for collecting and tabulating 
  data on race and ethnicity. In October 1997, the OMB issued the current standards, 
  which identify five race groups: white, black or African-American, American 
  Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. 
  The Census Bureau also utilized a sixth category - "some other race." Respondents 
  who reported only one race are shown in these six groups. Individuals were first presented with the option to self-identify with more 
  than one race in the 2000 Census, and this continued in the 2010 Census. People 
  who identify with more than one race may choose to provide multiple races in 
  response to the race question. The 2010 Census results provide new data on the 
  size and makeup of the nation's multiracial population. Respondents who reported more than one of the six race groups are included 
  in the "two or more races" population. There are 57 possible combinations 
  of the six race groups. The Census Bureau included the "some other race" category for responses 
  that could not be classified in any of the other race categories on the questionnaire. 
  In the 2000 Census, the vast majority of people who reported only as "some 
  other race" were of Hispanic or Latino origin. Data on Hispanics or Latinos, 
  who may be of any race, were obtained from a separate question on ethnicity. How to Find Assistance Additional information about the redistricting data program, including news 
  releases for other states, can be found online at http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/redistricting.html.

  State Data Centers https://www.census.gov/sdc/network.html Description of Five Custom Tables In addition to the full set of detailed tables to be available on FactFinder 
  within 24 hours, five custom tables are also attached to this news release. 
  The first (Table 1) shows the counties and the most populous cities and towns 
  in 2010, their change since the 2000 Census and their population rank for both 
  decades. Table 2 shows data for all ages and for those 18 and older for the Hispanic 
  or Latino population, as well as for people who reported one race and those 
  who reported two or more races. This table also shows the numeric and percent 
  change in the population by race and Hispanic origin between 2000 and 2010. Table 3 is similar to Table 2. However, it shows data for the six "race 
  alone or in combination" categories. The concept "race alone or 
  in combination" includes people who reported only a single race (e.g., 
  Asian) and people who reported that race in combination with one or more of 
  the other major race groups (i.e., white, black or African-American, American 
  Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and some 
  other race). The concept "race alone or in combination" represents the maximum 
  number of people who reported as that major race group, either alone or in combination 
  with another race(s). The sum of the six individual "race alone or in 
  combination" categories may add to more than the total population because 
  people who reported more than one race were tallied in each race category. For people who reported two or more races, Table 4 shows the population in 
  each of the 15 combinations of two races (for example, the number of people 
  who reported being both white *and* black or African-American). Table 5 shows the population in the major race categories and of Hispanic or 
  Latino origin for Vermont's counties and most populous cities and towns. Description of Two Custom Maps The attached custom maps show the total population by county for Vermont and 
  the percent change in the population by county.  **Editor's Note: The five detailed tables provided to the state are available 
  to the public online via FTP download at http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/ 
  and will be available within 24 hours at http://factfinder2.census.gov.
